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 0,5,.... The spiral begins:

FORMULA

O.g.f.: x*(5+x)/(1-x)^3. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 07 2008
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3), with a(0)=0, a(1)=5, a(2)=16. - Harvey P. Dale, May 06 2011
a(n) = a(n-1) + 6*n-1 (with a(0)=0). - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 18 2010
For n > 0, a(n)^3 + (a(n)+1)^3 + ... + (a(n)+n)^3 + 2*A000217(n)^2 = (a(n) + n + 1)^3 + ... + (a(n) + 2n)^3; see also A033954. - Charlie Marion, Dec 08 2007
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} A016969(i) for n > 0. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 13 2011
a(n) = A174709(6*n+4). - Philippe Deléham, Mar 26 2013
a(n) = A001082(2*n). - Michael Turniansky, Aug 24 2013
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (9 + sqrt(3)*Pi - 9*log(3))/12 = 0.3794906245574721941... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 27 2016
a(n) = A002378(n) + A014105(n). - J. M. Bergot, Apr 24 2018
