COMMENTS
Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 5, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the triangular numbers A000217. Opposite numbers to the members of A139277 in the same spiral.
Also, sequence of numbers of the form d*A000217(n-1) + 5*n with generating functions x*(5+(d-5)*x)/(1-x)^3; the inverse binomial transform is 0,5,d,0,0,.. (0 continued). See Crossrefs. - Bruno Berselli, Feb 11 2011
Even decagonal numbers divided by 2. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 19 2011
FORMULA
a(n) = 8*n^2 - 3*n.
Sequences of the form a(n) = 8*n^2 + c*n have generating functions x{c+8+(8-c)x} / (1-x)^3 and recurrence a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). The inverse binomial transform is 0, c+8, 16, 0, 0, ... (0 continued). This applies to A139271-A139278, positive or negative c. - R. J. Mathar, May 12 2008
a(n) = 16*n + a(n-1) - 11 for n>0, a(0)=0. - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 03 2010
From Bruno Berselli, Feb 11 2011: (Start)
G.f.: x*(5 + 11*x)/(1 - x)^3.
a(n) = 4*A000217(n) + A051866(n). (End)
a(n) = A028994(n)/2. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 19 2011
a(0)=0, a(1)=5, a(2)=26; for n>2, a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). - Harvey P. Dale, Feb 02 2012
E.g.f.: (8*x^2 + 5*x)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 18 2017
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 4*log(2)/3 - (sqrt(2)-1)*Pi/6 - sqrt(2)*arccoth(sqrt(2))/3. - Amiram Eldar, Jul 03 2020
