From Bruno Berselli, Feb 06 2012: (Start)
First trisection of A008259.
Apart from the first term, numbers of the form (r^2+2*s^2)*n^2+2 = (r*n)^2+(s*n-1)^2+(s*n+1)^2: in this case is r=2, s=3. After 1, all terms are in A000408. (End)

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+x)*(1+20*x+x^2)/(1-x)^3. - Bruno Berselli, Feb 06 2012
E.g.f.: (x*(x+1)*22+2)*e^x-1. - Gopinath A. R., Feb 14 2012
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 3/4 + sqrt(11)/44*Pi*coth( Pi/sqrt(11)) = 1.0706480516966... - R. J. Mathar, May 07 2024
