Numbers of the form 3*m^2+2*m, m an integer.
3*a(n) + 1 is a perfect square.
a(n) mod 10 belongs to a periodic sequence: 0, 1, 5, 8, 6, 1, 3, 0, 6, 5, 5, 6, 0, 3, 1, 6, 8, 5, 1, 0. - Mohamed Bouhamida, Sep 04 2009
Exponents of powers of q in one form of the quintuple product identity. (-x^-2 + 1) * q^0 + (x^-3 - x) * q^1 + (-x^-5 + x^3) * q^5 + (x^-6 - x^4) * q^8 + ... = Sum_{n>=0} q^(3*n^2 + 2*n) * (x^(3*n) - x^(-3*n - 2)) = Product_{k>0} (1 - x * q^(2*k - 1)) * (1 - x^-1 * q^(2*k - 1)) * (1 - q^(2*k)) * (1 - x^2 * q^(4*k)) * (1 - x^-2 * q^(4*k - 4)). - Michael Somos, Dec 21 2011
The offset 0 would also be valid here, all other entries of generalized k-gonal numbers have offset 0 (see cross references). - Omar E. Pol, Jan 12 2013
Also, x values of the Diophantine equation x(x+3)+(x+1)(x+2) = (x+y)^2+(x-y)^2. - Bruno Berselli, Mar 29 2013
Numbers n such that Sum_{i=1..n} 2*i*(n-i)/n is an integer (the addend is the harmonic mean of i and n-i). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 14 2014
Equivalently, integers of the form m*(m+2)/3 (nonnegative values of m are listed in A032766). - Bruno Berselli, Jul 18 2016
Exponents of q in the identity Sum_{n >= 0} ( q^n*Product_{k = 1..n} (1 - q^(2*k-1)) ) = 1 + q - q^5 - q^8 + q^16 + q^21 - - + + .... - Peter Bala, Dec 03 2020
Exponents of q in the expansion of Product_{n >= 1} (1 - q^(6*n))*(1 + q^(6*n-1))*(1 + q^(6*n-5)) = 1 + q + q^5 + q^8 + q^16 + q^21 + .... - Peter Bala, Dec 09 2020
Exponents of q in the expansion of Product_{n >= 1} (1 - q^n)^2*(1 - q^(4*n))^2 /(1 - q^(2*n)) = 1 - 2*q + 4*q^5 - 5*q^8 + 7*q^16 - + ... (a consequence of the quintuple product identity). The series coefficients are a signed version of A001651. - Peter Bala, Feb 16 2021

FORMULA
|
a(n) = n*(3*n-4)/4 if n even, (n-1)*(3*n+1)/4 if n odd.
a(n) = n^2 - n - floor(n/2)^2.
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*[x^(a(2n+1)) + x^(a(2n+2))] = 1/1 - (x-x^2)/1 - (x^2-x^4)/1 - (x^3-x^6)/1 - ... - (x^k - x^(2k))/1 - ... (continued fraction where k=1..inf). - Paul D. Hanna, Aug 16 2002
a(n+1) = ceiling(n/2)^2 + A046092(floor(n/2)).
O.g.f.: -x^2*(x^2+4*x+1)/((x-1)^3*(1+x)^2). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 15 2008
a(n) = n^2+n-ceiling(n/2)^2 with offset 0 and a(0)=0. - Gary Detlefs, Feb 23 2010
a(n) = (6*n^2-6*n-1-(2*n-1)*(-1)^n)/8. - Luce ETIENNE, Dec 11 2014
E.g.f.: (3*x^2*exp(x) + x*exp(-x) - sinh(x))/4. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 15 2016
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = 3*log(3)/2 - 3/4. - Amiram Eldar, Feb 28 2022

EXAMPLE

For the ninth comment: 65 is in the sequence because 65 = 13*(13+2)/3 or also 65 = -15*(-15+2)/3. - Bruno Berselli, Jul 18 2016
