COMMENTS

a(n) also can represented as n concentric squares (see example). - Omar E. Pol, Aug 21 2011

Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 4,..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the triangular numbers A000217. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 03 2011

LINKS

Index entries for sequences related to linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).

FORMULA

a(n) = A067239(n)/2, for n>0.

Sum(n>0) 1/a(n) = log(2)/2.

a(n) = A000384(n)*4. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 11 2008

a(n) = 16*n+a(n-1)-12 (with a(0)=0). - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 08 2010

G.f.: 4*x*(1+3*x)/(1-3*x+3*x^2-x^3). - Colin Barker, Jan 04 2012
