COMMENTS

Numbers that are the side lengths of the equilateral triangles needed to draw the spiral which follow the Padovan sequence. This sequence appears to be essentially identical to one or more sequences already in the OEIS. See: A000931, A078027, A124745, A133034.

FORMULA

a(n)=A000931(n+4).

a(n)=Sum_{x=1..nth number of Padovan sequence}x [From Juri-Stepan Gerasimov (2stepan(AT)rambler.ru], 17 Jul 2009)

EXAMPLE

a(6)=3 because 6+4=10 and A000931(10)=3.

MATHEMATICA

Drop[ CoefficientList[ Series[(1 - x^2)/(1 - x^2 - x^3), {x, 0, 52}], x], 5] (* Or *) a[1] = a[2] = a[3] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = a[n - 2] + a[n - 3]; Array[ a, 48] [From Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), Sep 30 2009]
