%N a(n) = (n - 1)*(4*n^2 - 8*n + 5).
%C Conjecture: For n > 1, a(n) is the maximum eigenvalue of a 2*(n-1) X 2*(n-1) square matrix M defined as M[i,j,n] = j + n*(i-1) if i is odd and M[i,j,n] = n*i - j + 1 if i is even (see A317614). - _Stefano Spezia_, Dec 27 2018
%C Connections can be made to A022144 and A010014. Namely, a formula for A022144 is (2*n+1)^2 - (2*n-1)^2. A formula for A010014 is (2*n+1)^3 - (2*n-1)^3. The general form can be represented by (2*n+1)^d - (2*n-1)^d, where d designates the number of dimensions. When d is 4, a(n) = ((2*(n-1)+1)^4 - (2*(n-1)-1)^4)/16, namely the general form shifted by 1 and divided by 16 is a(n). - _Yigit Oktar_, Aug 16 2024
