COMMENTS
Also as a(n)=(n/6)*(5*n^2+1), n>0: structured pentagonal diamond numbers (vertex structure 6) (cf. A081436 = alternate vertex; A000447 = structured diamonds; A100145 for more on structured numbers). - James A. Record (james.record(AT)gmail.com), Nov 07 2004
Number of atoms in decahedron with n shells, number = 5/6*(n^3) + 1/6*(n) (T. P. Martin, Shells of atoms, eq.(3)). - Brigitte Stepanov, Jul 02 2011
a(n+1) is the number of triples (w,x,y) having all terms in {0,...,n} and x+y >= w. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 14 2012
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A215630(n,k) for n > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 11 2012
a(n) - a(n-2) = A010001(n-1), for n>1. - K. G. Stier, Dec 21 2012
a(n) is also a figurate number representing a cube of side n with a vertex cut off by a tetrahedron of side n-1. As such, a(n) = A000578(n) - A000292(n-1), n > 0. - Jean M. Morales, Aug 11 2013
The sequence starting with 1 is the third partial sum of (1, 4, 5, 5, 5, ...) and the binomial transform of (1, 6, 10, 5, 0, 0, 0, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 27 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = 5*binomial(n + 1, 3) + binomial(n, 1).
a(n) = 5*n^3/6 + n/6.
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} A005891(i). - Xavier Acloque, Oct 08 2003
G.f.: x*(1+3*x+x^2) / (1-x)^4. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 05 2011
E.g.f.: (x/6)*(5x^2 + 15x + 6)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Sep 27 2015
Sum_{n>0} 1/a(n) = 3*(2*gamma + polygamma(0, 1-i/sqrt(5)) + polygamma(0, 1+i/sqrt(5)) = 1.233988011257952852492845364799197179252... where i denotes the imaginary unit. - Stefano Spezia, Aug 31 2023
