Comments

From Ron Knott, Nov 25 2013: (Start)

a(n) = 2*r*(r+1) which is also of form s(s+1) where the s is in A053141.

a(n) is an oblong number (A002378) which is twice another oblong number. (End)

2*a(n)+1 and 4*a(n)+1 are both square. - Paul Cleary, Jun 23 2014

Formula

a(n) = 2*A029549(n) = 2*A001109(n)*A001109(n+1).

a(n) = (A001653(n)^2 - 1)/2.

a(n) = A053141(n)^2 + A011900(n)^2 - 1.

For n>0, a(n) = A053141(2n) - 2*A001109(n-1)^2.

For n>0, a(n) = 3*(A001542(n)^2 - A001542(n-1)^2).

For n>0, a(n) = A053141(2n-1) + 2*(A001653(2n-1) - A001109(n-1)^2).

a(n+1) + a(n) = 3*A001542(n+1)^2.

a(n+1) - a(n) = A001542(2*n).

a(n+1)*a(n) = 4*(A001109(n)^4 - A001109(n)^2) = 4*A001110(n)*(A001110(n) - 1).

From Ron Knott, Nov 25 2013: (Start)

a(n) = 35*a(n-1) - 35*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

G.f.: 12*x / ((1-x)*(x^2-34*x+1)). (End)

a(n) = (-6 + (3-2*sqrt(2))*(17+12*sqrt(2))^(-n)+(3+2*sqrt(2))*(17+12*sqrt(2))^n)/16. - Colin Barker, Mar 02 2016

Example

a(1) = 12 = 2(2*3) = 3*4, a(2) = 420 = 2(14*15) = 20*21.
