COMMENTS

At the first step, the pyramid contains only one unitary square.At each step of rank n we add a row of 2*n-1 squares below the previous pyramid. The sequence is the number of rectangles of any size which can be seen in this pyramid oh height n

FORMULA

For n == 0 mod 3, c(n) = n*((3*n^3)+(5*n^2)-(3^n)-3)/18; for n == 1 mod 3, c(n) = (n-1)*(3*(n^3]+8*(n^2)+5*n+2)/18; for n == 2 mod 3, c(n) = (3*(n^4)+5*(n^3)-3*(n^2)-3*n+2)/18

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = (3*n^4 + 5*n^3 - 3*n^2 - 3*n + 2) \ 18} /* Michael Somos Feb 17 2008 */
