1/6+2/6+3/6=1, 1/6+2/6+3/6+4/6+5/6+6/6+7/6+8/6=6,...

a(n) is the set of all integers k such that 48k+1 is a perfect square. The square roots of 48*a(n)+1 = 1,7,17,23,25... = 8*(n-floor(n/4))+(-1)^n [From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Mar 01 2010]

Conjecture: even generalized pentagonal numbers (A193828) divided by 2. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 19 2011

The above conjecture is correct. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 02 2012]

Quasipolynomial of order 4. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 02 2012]

FORMULA

a(n) = A000217(A108752(n))/6. Conjecture: G.f. x(x^2-x+1)(x^2+4x+1)/((1+x^2)^2*(1-x)^3). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jan 07 2009]

The conjecture is correct. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 02 2012]
