COMMENTS

Arises in hexagonal number analogue to A129803 Triangular numbers which are the sum of three consecutive triangular numbers. What are the hexagonal numbers which are the sum of three consecutive hexagonal numbers? Prime for a(0) = 7, a(4) = 139, a(6) = 277, a(8) = 463, a(18) = 2113, a(22) = 3109, a(26) = 4297, a(38) = 9013, a(40) = 9967.

FORMULA

a(n) = H(n) + H(n+1) + H(n+2) where H(n) = A000384(n) = n(2n-1). a(n) = 6*n^2 + 9*n + 7.

EXAMPLE

a(0) = H(0) + H(1) + H(2) = 0 + 1 + 6 = 7 = 6*0^2 + 9*0 + 7.

a(1) = H(1) + H(2) + H(3) = 1 + 6 + 15 = 22 = 6*1^2 + 9*1 + 7.

a(2) = H(2) + H(3) + H(4) = 6 + 15 + 28 = 49 = 6*2^2 + 9*2 + 7.
