COMMENTS

Also: The numerators in the j=2 column of the array a(i,j) defined in A140825, where the columns j=0 and j=1 are represented by A000012 and A005408. This could be extended to column j=3: 1, -1, 9, 55, 161... The common feature of these sequences derived from a(i,j) is that their j-th differences are constant sequences defined by A091137(j).

a(n) is the set of all k such that 6k+6 is a perfect square [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Mar 04 2010]

The identity (6n^2-1)^2-(9n^2-3)*(2n)^2=1 can be written as a(n+1)^2-A157872(n)*A005843(n+1)^2=1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 05 2012

FORMULA

a(n)=2a(n-1)-a(n-2)+12.

First differences: a(n+1)-a(n)=A017593(n). Second differences A071593(n+1)-A071593(n)=12.
