COMMENTS

a(1) = 2; then add 0 to the first number, then 1, 2, 3, 4... and so on.

Essentially the same as A022856, A089071 and A133263. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Dec 19 2008]

First differences are A001477.

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1)+n-2 (with a(1)=2). [From Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 26 2010]

a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-3*a(n-2)+a(n-3).

G.f. -x*(2-4*x+3*x^2) /  (x-1)^3 . - R. J. Mathar, Oct 30 2011
