COMMENTS
Partial sums give the generalized 16-gonal numbers (A274978).
a(n) is also the length of the n-th line segment of the rectangular spiral whose vertices are the generalized 16-gonal numbers.
FORMULA
a(2n) = 12*n, a(2n+1) = 2*n + 1.
From Michael De Vlieger, Jul 26 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1 + 12*x + x^2) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)^2).
a(n) = 2*a(n-2) - a(n-4) for n>3. (End)
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 3*2^(e+1), and a(p^e) = p^e for an odd prime p. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 14 2023
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1) * (1 + 5*2^(1-s)). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 25 2023
a(n) = (7 + 5*(-1)^n)*n/2. - Aaron J Grech, Aug 20 2024
