FORMULA
|
a(n) = a(n-1) + 32*n (with a(0)=4). - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 15 2010
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3), with a(0)=4, a(1)=36, a(2)=100. - Harvey P. Dale, Nov 24 2011
G.f.: -((4*(x^2+6*x+1))/(x-1)^3). - Harvey P. Dale, Nov 24 2011
a(n) = A000290(A016825(n)). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Feb 24 2014
From Amiram Eldar, Jun 28 2020: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/32.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = G/4, where G is the Catalan constant (A006752). (End)
