COMMENTS

n X n spirals of the form:

(Examples of n = 3, 4)

7...8...9

6...1...2

5...4...3

and

7...8...9...10

6...1...2...11

5...4...3...12

16..15..14..13

FORMULA

a(n) = mod(n^(n+1),n+1) + floor(n/2)^2*(6-4(-1)^n) + [16*floor(n/2)^3 + floor(n/2)*(14-12(-1)^n)]/3

Interweave A114254 and A137931.

Empirical G.f.: x*(1+7*x-3*x^2+3*x^3)/((1-x)^4*(1+x)). [Colin Barker, Jan 12 2012]

EXAMPLE

a(1) = mod(1^(1+1),1+1) + floor(1/2)^2*(6-4(-1)^1) + [16*floor(1/2)^3 + floor(1/2)*(14-12(-1)^1)]/3 = 1

a(2) = mod(2^(2+1),2+1) + floor(2/2)^2*(6-4(-1)^2) + [16*floor(2/2)^3 + floor(2/2)*(14-12(-1)^2)]/3 = 10
