a(n) = T(0,n) and differences T(n,k) = T(n-1,k+1) - T(n-1,k) define the array

0, 6, 4, 30, 3, 70, 24, 126, 10, 198, 60, 286, 21, 390, ..

6, -2, 26, -27, 67, -46, 102, -116, 188, -138, 226, -265, 369, -278, ..

T(3,n) mod 9 is the sequence 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4, 4 (and periodically repeated with period 12).

A064680(2+n) divides a(n), where b(n) = a(n)/A064680(2+n) = 0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 7, 2,... for n>=0, obeys b(4*k) = k and has recurrence b(n) = 2*b(n-4) - b(n-8).

Let BEB(n) = a(n)/A061038(n+2) = A060819(n)/A145979(n). Then (BEB(n))^2 = A181318(n)/A061038(n+2) = BEB(n) - A061037(n+2)/A061038(n+2). - Paul Curtz, Jul 19 2011, index corrected by R. J. Mathar, Sep 09 2011

From Luce ETIENNE, Apr 18 2017: (Start)

a(n) = n*(n + 2)*(37 - 27*(-1)^n - 3*((-1)^((2*n + 1 - (-1)^n)/4) + (-1)^((2*n - 1 + (-1)^n)/4)))/32.

a(n) = n*(n+2)*(37-27*cos(n*Pi) - 6*cos(n*Pi/2))/32.

a(n) = n*(n + 2)*(37 - 27*(-1)^n - 3*(i^n + (-i)^n))/32, where i=sqrt(-1). (End)
