COMMENTS

The old definition of this sequence was "Generalized polygonal numbers".

Row T(3,n) of A080853.

Equals binomial transform of [1, 3, 9, 0, 0, 0,...] - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 30 2008

a(n) is also the least weight of self-conjugate partitions having n different parts such that each part is congruent to 2 modulo 3. The first such self-conjugate partitions, corresponding to a(n)=1,2,3,4, are 2+2, 5+5+2+2+2, 8+8+5+5+5+2+2+2, 11+11+8+8+8+5+5+5+2+2+2. [Augustine O. Munagi (amunagi(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 18 2008]

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=3, (i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=3, a(n-1)=-coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^(n-2)). [Milan Janjic, Jan 27 2010]
