FORMULA

Equals (3*A001570(n) + 1)/4. - Ralf Stephan, May 20 2007

Define x(n) and y(n) by (3+sqrt(3))*(2+sqrt(3))^n = x(n) + y(n)*sqrt(3); let s(n) = (y(n)+1)/2; then a(n) = (1/2)*(2+3*(s(n)^2-s(n))).

a(n+2)=14*a(n+1)-a(n)-3, a(n+1)=7*a(n)-1.5+0.5*(192*a(n)^2-96*a(n)-15)^0.5. G.f.: f(z)=a(1)*z+a(2)*z^2+...=(z*(1-5*z+z^2))/((1-z)*(1-14*z+z^2)) - Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Oct 01 2007

EXAMPLE

a(1)=10 because 10 is the third triangular number and the fourth centered triangular number

MAPLE

CP := n -> 1+1/2*3*(n^2-n): N:=10: u:=2: v:=1: x:=3: y:=1: k_pcp:=[1]: for i from 1 to N do tempx:=x; tempy:=y; x:=tempx*u+3*tempy*v: y:=tempx*v+tempy*u: s:=(y+1)/2: k_pcp:=[op(k_pcp), CP(s)]: end do: k_pcp;
