%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 06 2013: (Start)

%C a(n) = -N(-floor(n/2),n) with the N(a,b) = ((2*a+b)^2 - b^2*5)/4, the norm for integers a + b*omega(5), a, b rational integers, in the quadratic number field Q(sqrt(5)), where omega(5) = (1 + sqrt(5))/2 (golden section).

%C a(n) = max({|N(a,n)|,a = -n..+n}) = |N(-floor(n/2),n)| = n^2 + n*floor(n/2) - floor(n/2)^2 = floor(5*n^2/4) (the last eq. checks for even and odd n). (End)
