COMMENTS

Equivalently, numbers whose square part is odd. Cf. A028982. - Peter Munn, Jul 14 2020
More generally the sequence of numbers not divisible by some fixed integer m >= 2 is given by a(n,m) = 1 + n + floor(n/(m-1)). - Benoit Cloitre, Jul 11 2009
Also a(n,m) = floor((m*n-1)/(m-1)) [with offset 1]. - Gary Detlefs, May 14 2011
Numbers not having more even than odd divisors: A048272(a(n)) >= 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 21 2012
Extending the comments of Benoit Cloitre (Jul 11 2009) and Gary Detlefs (May 14 2011), the g.f. is A(m,x) = (1-x^m) / ((1-x^(m-1))*(1-x)^2) where m >= 2 is fixed. - Werner Schulte, Apr 26 2018

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-3) - a(n-4).
a(n) = a(n-3) + 4, with a(1) = 1.
G.f.: x * (1+x) * (1+x^2) / ( (1+x+x^2)*(1-x)^2 ). - Michael Somos, Jan 12 2000
A064680(A064680(a(n))) = a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 19 2001
Nearest integer to (Sum_{k>n} 1/k^4)/(Sum_{k>n} 1/k^5). - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 12 2003
a(n) = n + 1 + floor(n/3). - Benoit Cloitre, Jul 11 2009
a(n) = floor((4*n+3)/3). - Gary Detlefs, May 14 2011
A214546(a(n)) >= 0 for n > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 20 2012
a(n) = 2*n - ceiling(2*n/3) + 1. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Sep 21 2012
Sum_{k=0..n} a(n) = A071619(n+1). - L. Edson Jeffery, Jul 30 2014
The g.f. A(x) satisfies x*A(x)^2 = (B(x)/x)^2 + (B(x)/x), where B(x) is the o.g.f. of A042965. - Peter Bala, Apr 12 2017
a(n) = (12*n + 6 + 3*cos(2*n*Pi/3) + sqrt(3)*sin(2*n*Pi/3))/9. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 30 2017
Euler transform of length 4 sequence [2, 0, 1, -1]. - Michael Somos, Jun 17 2018
a(n) = -a(-1-n) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Jun 17 2018
E.g.f.: (2/3)*exp(x)*(1 + 2*x) + (1/9)*exp(-x/2)*(3*cos(sqrt(3)*x/2) + sqrt(3)*sin(sqrt(3)*x/2)). - Stefano Spezia, Nov 16 2019
a(n) = (12*n + 6 + w^(2*n)*(w + 2) - w^n*(w - 1))/9 where w = (-1 + sqrt(-3))/2. - Guenther Schrack, Jun 07 2021
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (2*sqrt(2)-1)*Pi/8. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 05 2021
