The old definition of this sequence was "Generalized polygonal numbers".
Column T(n,5) of A080853.
Sequence found by reading the line from 1, in the direction 1, 16, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized heptagonal numbers A085787. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 10 2011

FORMULA
a(n) = C(5,0) + C(5,1)*n + C(5,2)*n^2.
G.f.: (C(4,0) + (C(6,2) - 2)*x + C(4,2)*x^2)/(1-x)^3 = (1 + 13*x + 6*x^2)/(1-x)^3.
a(n) = 20*n + a(n-1) - 5 with n > 0, a(0)=1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 08 2010
From Elmo R. Oliveira, Oct 31 2024: (Start)
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(1 + 15*x + 10*x^2).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n > 2. (End)
