%N a(n) = floor((n + 1/2)^4).
%C a(n) is the number k such that {k^p} < 1/2 < {(k+1)^p}, where p = 1/4 and { } = fractional part. Equivalently, the jump sequence of f(x) = x^(1/4), in the sense that these are the nonnegative integers k for which round(k^p) < round((k+1)^p)). For details and a guide to related sequences, see A219085.
%C -4*a(n) gives the real part of (n+n*i)*((n+1)+n*i)*(n+(n+1)*i)*((n+1)+(n+1)*i). The imaginary part is always zero. - _Jon Perry_, Feb 05 2014
%C Numbers k such that 16*k+1 is a fourth power. - _Bruno Berselli_, May 29 2018
%C The row sums of "Floyd's Triangle", which is a triangular array of natural numbers beginning with the number 1, produce the sequence A006003. A006003 can be bisected to get the Rhombic Dodecahedron Sequence A005917, whose n-th partial sum is n^4, and A317297, whose n-th partial sum is a(n). Interleave n^4 or A000583 back with {a(n)} to get A011863, whose first differences are A019298. Finally, A011863(n)-A011863(n-2) = A006003(n-1). - _Bruce J. Nicholson_, Dec 22 2019
