COMMENTS

A104584, pentagonal wave sequence of the first kind; switches odd and even applications and visa versa in A104585. The pentagonal wave triangle, A104586, has A104584 in odd columns and A104585 in even columns.

FORMULA

Even index terms are pentagonal numbers with even index in A000326. Odd index terms are second pentagonal numbers with odd index in A005449.

a(n) = (1/2) * [3n^2 - n*(-1)^n ]. - Ralf Stephan, Nov 13 2010.

G.f.: x*(2+3*x+6*x^2+x^3)/(1-x)^3/(1+x)^2. - Colin Barker, Feb 13 2012

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 40 = A005449(5), a second pentagonal number.
