COMMENTS
Terms up to 113 are the atomic numbers of the elements of group 13 in the periodic table. Those elements are also called icosagens.
FORMULA
From G. C. Greubel, Jun 23 2016: (Start)
a(n) = n*((n+3)^2 + 2)/6 + (n+2)*(1+(-1)^n)/4 - 6, for n >= 2.
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) - 4*a(n-3) + a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) - a(n-6).
G.f.: x^2 * (5 + 3*x - 6*x^3 - x^4 + 3*x^5)/( (1-x)^4 * (1+x)^2 ). (End)
