%N Centered 10-gonal numbers.

%C Deleting the least significant digit yields the (n-1)-st triangular number: a(n) = 10*A000217(n-1) + 1. - _Amarnath Murthy_, Dec 11 2003

%C All divisors of a(n) are congruent to 1 or -1, modulo 10; that is, they end in the decimal digit 1 or 9. Proof: If p is an odd prime different from 5 then 5n^2 - 5n + 1 == 0 (mod p) implies 25(2n - 1)^2 == 5 (mod p), whence p == 1 or -1 (mod 10). - Nick Hobson, Nov 13 2006

%C Centered decagonal numbers. - _Omar E. Pol_, Oct 03 2011

%C The partial sums of this sequence give A004466. - _Leo Tavares_, Oct 04 2021

%C The continued fraction expansion of sqrt(5*a(n)) is [5n-3; {2, 2n-2, 2, 10n-6}]. For n=1, this collapses to [2; {4}]. - _Magus K. Chu_, Sep 12 2022

%C Numbers m such that 20*m + 5 is a square. Also values of the Fibonacci polynomial y^2 - x*y - x^2 for x = n and y = 3*n - 1. This is a subsequence of A089270. - _Klaus Purath_, Oct 30 2022

%C All terms can be written as a difference of two consecutive squares a(n) = A005891(n-1)^2 - A028895(n-1)^2, and they can be represented by the forms (x^2 + 2mxy + (m^2-1)y^2) and (3x^2 + (6m-2)xy + (3m^2-2m)y^2), both of discriminant 4. - _Klaus Purath_, Oct 17 2023
