FORMULA
|
G.f.: x*(1+10*x+x^2)/(1-x)^3.
a(n) = 1 + (sum(12*n)). E.g., a(2)=37 because 1 + 12*0 + 12*1 + 12*2 = 37. - _Xavier Acloque_, Oct 06 2003
a(n) = numerator in B_2(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (1/2)x + 1/12 = Bernoulli polynomial of degree 2. - Gary W. Adamson, May 30 2005
a(n) = 12*(n-1) + a(n-1), with n>1, a(1)=1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 08 2010
a(n) = A049598(n-1) + 1. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 03 2011
