Comments

Also, numbers m such that 2*m + 6 is a square.

All the terms end with a digit in {5, 7, 9}, or equivalently, are congruent to {5, 7, 9} mod 10. - Stefano Spezia, Aug 05 2021

Formula

From Vincenzo Librandi, Apr 13 2016: (Start)

G.f.: (5-x^2)/(1-x)^3.

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

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

E.g.f.: exp(x)*(5 + 10*x + 2*x^2). - Stefano Spezia, Aug 03 2021
