Comments

First differences of A195034.

a(n) is also the length of the n-th edge of a square spiral in which the first two edges are the legs of the primitive Pythagorean triple [21, 20, 29]. Zero together with partial sums give A195034, the vertices of the spiral.

Formula

From Bruno Berselli, Sep 29 2011: (Start)

G.f.: x*(21+20*x)/((1-x)^2*(1+x)^2).

a(n) = A010693(n)*A010718(n)*A029578(n+1) = (41*n-(n+21)*(-1)^n+21)/4.

a(n) = 2*a(n-2) - a(n-4). (End)
