FORMULA
a(n) = 12*(5*n*(n + 1) + 1) + 1.
From Stefano Spezia, Feb 07 2020: (Start)
O.g.f.: (13 + 94*x + 13*x^2)/(1 - x)^3.
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(13 + 120*x + 60*x^2).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-2) for n > 2. (End)
a(n) = A082369(A001844(n)). - M. F. Hasler, Jun 09 2023
EXAMPLE
Example: a(2) = 13 + 60*2 + 60*2^2 = 373.
