(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A160790 Vertex number of a rectangular spiral. The first differences (A160791) are the edge lengths of the spiral. The distances between two nearest edges, that are parallel to the initial edge, are the natural numbers. 5

FORMULA

a(n)= +a(n-1) +3*a(n-2) -3*a(n-3) -3*a(n-4) +3*a(n-5) +a(n-6) -a(n-7).

G.f.:  -x*(-1-x+x^2) / ( (1+x)^3*(x-1)^4 ).

MAPLE

A160791 := proc(n) if type(n, 'odd') then ceil(n/2) ; else A000217(n/2) ; end if; end proc:

A160790 := proc(n) if n = 0 then 0; else add(A160791(i), i=0..n) ; end if; end proc:
