COMMENTS

Arises in heptagonal number analogue to A129803 Triangular numbers which are the sum of three consecutive triangular numbers. What are the heptagonal numbers which are the sum of three consecutive heptagonal numbers? Prime for a(2) = 59, a(3) = 107, a(7) = 449, a(10) = 863, a(11) = 1031, a(23) = 4217, a(26) = 5351, a(31) = 7541, a(42) = 13679, a(43) = 14327, a(46) = 16361, a(51) = 20051.

FORMULA

a(n) = Hep(n) + Hep(n+1) + Hep(n+2) where Hep(n) = A000566(n) = n(5n-3)/2. a(n) = (15/2)*n^2 + (21/2)*n + 8.

EXAMPLE

a(0) = Hep(0) + Hep(1) + Hep(2) = 0 + 1 + 7 = 8 = (15/2)*0^2 + (21/2)*0 + 8.

a(1) = Hep(1) + Hep(2) + Hep(3) = 1 + 7 + 18 = 26 = (15/2)*1^2 + (21/2)*1 + 8.

a(2) = Hep(2) + Hep(3) + Hep(4) = 7 + 18 + 34 = 59 = (15/2)*2^2 + (21/2)*2 + 8.
