(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A088003 Take the list t[n,0]={1,...,n}; denote by t[n,j] this list after rotating to left[or right] by j positions. Calculate inner product of t[n,0] and t[n,j] and denote the value by s[n,j]. Compute this inner product for all j=1,..,n and choose the smallest. This is a[n]. 3

COMMENTS

If instead of Min the Max was computed, then A000330(n), the square piramidal numbers was obtained. Also, inner product of t with 1-rotated-t is calculated, then A006527(n) is produced.

FORMULA

a(n)=Min{y; y=t[n, 0]*t[n, x]=s[n, x]; for x=1, .., n}

a(n)=n*(2*n*(5*n+12)-3*(-1)^n+11)/48.

G. f.: x*(1+2x+2x^2)/((1+x)^2*(1-x)^4). - Bruno Berselli, Dec 01 2010

EXAMPLE

n=6: t[6,0]={1,2,3,4,5,6}, t[6,3]={4,5,6,1,2,3};

compute scalar products for all rotations:

{76,67,64,67,76,91} of which smallest is 64, so a[6]=64.

MATHEMATICA

t0[x_] := Table[w, {w, 1, x}]; jr[x_, j_] := RotateRight[t0[x], j]; Table[Min[Table[Apply[Plus, t0[g]*jr[g, i]], {i, 1, g}]], {g, 1, up}]
