Also, the j-th hexagonal number, where j = n^2 = A000290(n), i.e., a(n) = A000384(A000290(n)) and a(n) = A056220(n) * A000290(n) or j * k. This sequence is a subsequence of the hexagonal number sequence and retains the aspect intrinsic to the hexagonal number sequence that each number in this sequence can be found by multiplying its triangular number by its hexagonal number. - Bruce J. Nicholson, Aug 22 2017
Odd numbers and their squares both having the form 2x-+1, we may write (2r+1)^3 = (2r+1)*(2s-1), where s = centered squares = (r+1)^2 + r^2. Since 2r+1 = (r+1)^2 - r^2, it follows immediately from summing telescopingly over n-1, the product 2*{(r+1)^4 - r^4} - {(r+1)^2 - r^2}, that Sum_{r=0..n-1} (2r+1)^3 = 2*n^4 - n^2 = n^2*(2n^2 - 1). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jun 16 2004
a(n) is also the starting term in the sum of a number M(n) of consecutive cubed integers equaling a squared integer (A253724) for M(n) equal to twice a squared integer (A001105). Numbers a(n) such that a^3 + (a+1)^3 + ... + (a+M-1)^3 = c^2 has nontrivial solutions over the integers for M equal to twice a squared integer (A001105). If M is twice a squared integer, there always exists at least one nontrivial solution for the sum of M consecutive cubed integers starting from a^3 and equaling a squared integer c^2. For n >= 1, M(n) = 2n^2 (A001105), a(n) = M(M-1)/2 = n^2(2n^2 - 1), and c(n) = sqrt(M/2) (M(M^2-1)/2) = n^3(4n^4 - 1). The trivial solutions with M < 1 and a < 2 are not considered. - Vladimir Pletser, Jan 10 2015
Binomial transform of the sequence with offset 1 is (1, 27, 98, 120, 48, 0, 0, 0, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 23 2015
