The number of edges of a complete tripartite graph of order 3n, K_n,n,n. - Roberto E. Martinez II, Oct 18 2001
From Floor van Lamoen, Jul 21 2001: (Start)
Write 1,2,3,4,... in a hexagonal spiral around 0; then a(n) is the sequence found by reading the line from 0 in the direction 0,3,.... The spiral begins:

Number of edges of the complete bipartite graph of order 4n, K_n,3n. - Roberto E. Martinez II, Jan 07 2002
Also the number of partitions of 6n + 3 into at most 3 parts. - R. K. Guy, Oct 23, 2003
Also the number of partitions of 6n into exactly 3 parts. - Colin Barker, Mar 23 2015
Numbers n such that the imaginary quadratic field Q[sqrt(-n)] has six units. - Marc LeBrun, Apr 12 2006
The denominators of Hoehn's sequence (recalled by G. L. Honaker, Jr.) and the numerators of that sequence reversed. The sequence is 1/3, (1+3)/(5+7), (1+3+5)/(7+9+11), (1+3+5+7)/(9+11+13+15), ...; reduced to 1/3, 4/12, 9/27, 16/48, ... . For the reversal, the reduction is 3/1, 12/4, 27/9, 48/16, ... . - Enoch Haga, Oct 05 2007
Right edge of tables in A200737 and A200741: A200737(n, A000292(n)) = A200741(n, A100440(n)) = a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 21 2011
The Wiener index of the crown graph G(n) (n>=3). The crown graph G(n) is the graph with vertex set {x(1), x(2), ..., x(n), y(1), y(2), ..., y(n)} and edge set {(x(i), y(j)): 1<=i, j<=n, i/=j} (= the complete bipartite graph K(n,n) with horizontal edges removed). Example: a(3)=27 because G(3) is the cycle C(6) and 6*1 + 6*2 + 3*3 = 27. The Hosoya-Wiener polynomial of G(n) is n(n-1)(t+t^2)+nt^3. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 29 2013

Integer area A of equilateral triangles whose side lengths are in the commutative ring Z[3^(1/4)] = {a + b*3^(1/4) + c*3^(1/2) + d*3^(3/4), a,b,c and d in Z}.
The area of an equilateral triangle of side length k is given by A = k^2*sqrt(3)/4. In the ring Z[3^(1/4)], if k = q*3^(1/4), then A = 3*q^2/4 is an integer if q is even. Example: 27 is in the sequence because the area of the triangle (6*3^(1/4), 6*3^(1/4), 6*3^(1/4)) is 27. (End)
a(n) is 2*sqrt(3) times the area of a 30-60-90 triangle with short side n. Also, 3 times the area of an n X n square. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 06 2016
