COMMENTS

The ratio k(n) /(2*j(n)) tends to sqrt(2) as n increases.

The squares of the numbers in this sequence are one less than a triangular number: a(n)^2 = A164080(n). For example, 18^2 is 324, and 325 is a triangular number. a(n)^2 + 1 = A164055(n). a(n)^2 = A072221(n)(A072221(n)+1)/2 - 1. [From Tanya Khovanova & Alexey Radul (tanyakh(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 09 2009]

FORMULA

a(1)=0, a(2)=3 then a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - a(n-2).

a(n) = ((3+2*sqrt(2))^(n-1) - (3-2*sqrt(2))^(n-1))*3/4/sqrt(2). - Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Jan 11 2007

a(n) = 3*A001109(n) [M. Hasler, R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 03 2009]

a(n) = (3/4)*A005319(n-1).
