COMMENTS

a(n) is also floor(n/2)*ceiling(n/2)*(n-2)/2 [From James Buddenhagen (jbuddenh(AT)gmail.com), Nov 11 2009]

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 03 2010: (Start)

Starting with 1 = M * [1, 2, 3,...] where M = a matrix with (1, 4, 7, 10,...)

in every column, shifted down twice for columns >1. The row sums of triangle

M = A006578: (1, 4, 8, 14, 21, 30, 40,...). (End)
