COMMENTS

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch, Sep 21 2010: (Start)

a(n) is also the Wiener index of the windmill graph D(4,n). The windmill graph D(m,n) is the graph obtained by taking n copies of the complete graph K_m with a vertex in common (i.e. a bouquet of n pieces of K_m graphs). The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph. The Wiener index of D(m,n) is (1/2)n(m-1)[(m-1)(2n-1)+1]. For the Wiener indices of D(3,n), D(5,n), and D(6,n) see A033991, A028994, and A180577, respectively.
