COMMENTS

The second quadrisection of A184005(n-1) is A179741(n).

The first quadrisection of A184005(n-1) is a(n).

Sequence found by reading the line from -1, in the direction -1, 9,..., in the square spiral whose vertices are -1 together with the generalized octagonal numbers A001082. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 18 2012

FORMULA

a(n)=A184005(4*n-1). - corrected by R. J. Mathar, Aug 24 2011

a(n)=a(n-1)+24*n-14.

a(n)=2*a(n-1)-a(n)+24.

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

G.f. -(1+x)*(13*x-1) / (x-1)^3 . - R. J. Mathar, Aug 24 2011

a(n) = A154106(n-1) - 2, n >= 1. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 19 2012
