Their square ends in the digit 4. - Kausthub Gudipati, Sep 08 2011
10*a(n) = 20, 80, 120, 180, 220, ... are the only numbers written in French ending in "vingt(s)". - Paul Curtz, Aug 02 2018
FORMULA
a(n) = 2 * A047209(n).
a(n) = 10*n - a(n-1) - 10 (with a(1)=2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 16 2010
G.f.: 2*x*(1+3*x+x^2)/((1+x)*(1-x)^2). - Bruno Berselli, Sep 08 2011
a(1) = 2. For n > 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + A226294(n). - Felix Fröhlich, Aug 02 2018
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = sqrt(1+2/sqrt(5))*Pi/10. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 28 2021
E.g.f.: 2 + ((10*x - 5)*exp(x) + exp(-x))/2. - David Lovler, Sep 03 2022
