Mean of the first four nonnegative powers of 2n+1, i.e., ((2n+1)^0 + (2n+1)^1 + (2n+1)^2 + (2n+1)^3)/4. E.g., a(2) = (1 + 3 + 9 + 27)/4 = 10.

Equatorial structured meta-diamond numbers, the n-th number from an equatorial structured n-gonal diamond number sequence. There are no 1- or 2-gonal diamonds, so 1 and (n+2) are used as the first and second terms since all the sequences begin as such. - James A. Record (james.record(AT)gmail.com), Nov 07 2004

Form an array from the antidiagonals containing the terms in A002061 to give antidiagonals 1; 3,3; 7,4,7; 13,8,8,13; 21,14,9,14,21; and so on. The difference between the sum of the terms in n+1 X n+1 matrices and those in n X n matrices is a(n) for n>0. - J. M. Bergot, Jul 08 2013
