COMMENTS

Number of integer solutions to 1-n <= x <= y <= z <= n-1 where x - 2*y + z is nonzero. - Michael Somos, Dec 27 2011

FORMULA

a(n) = 1*2 + 3*4 + 5*6 + ... + 2n*(2n+1)

a(n) = (4n^3-3n^2-n)/3. For n=3, this gives (4*27-3*9-3)/3 = 78/3 = 26.

O.g.f.: 2*x^2*(3+x)/(-1+x)^4 . a(n) = 2*A016061(n-1) . - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 14 2008

EXAMPLE

For n = 3, the sum of the first 3 pairs is 0*1+2*3+4*5 = 26, the 3rd entry in the sequence.

G.f. = 6*x^2 + 26*x^3 + 68*x^4 + 140*x^5 + 250*x^6 + 406*x^7 + 616*x^8 + 888*x^9 + ...

PROG

(PARI) sumprod(n) = { local(x, s=0); forstep(x=0, n, 2, s+=x*(x+1); print1(s", ") ) }

(PARI) {a(n) = n * (n - 1) * (4*n + 1) / 3} /* Michael Somos, Dec 27 2011 */
