%N a(n) = n^2*(n^2 - 1)/3.
%C Second derivative of the n-th Chebyshev polynomial (of the first kind) evaluated at x=1.
%C The second derivative at x=-1 is just (-1)^n * a(n).
%C The difference between two consecutive terms generates the sequence a(n+1) - a(n) = A002492(n).
%C Consider the partitions of 2n into two parts (p,q) where p <= q. Then a(n) is the total volume of the family of rectangular prisms with dimensions p, |q-p| and |q-p|. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Apr 15 2018
