%N a(n) = number of values of m such that m can be expressed as the sum of distinct odd numbers with largest odd number in the sum = 2n+1.
%C Beginning with the third term, the first differences are the odd positive integers. - _John W. Layman_, Feb 28 2012

%F For n>2, a(n) = n^2-1. The values of m are all values from 2n+1 to (n+1)^2 except 2n+3 and n^2+2n-1. - _David Wasserman_, Sep 16 2004
%F From _Colin Barker_, Feb 15 2016: (Start)
%F a(n) = n^2-1 for n>2.
%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-3*a(n-2)+a(n-3) for n>5.
%F G.f.: (1-x+x^2+x^3+x^4-x^5) / (1-x)^3.
