%N Centered heptagonal numbers.

%C Equals the triangular numbers convolved with [ 1, 5, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...]. - _Gary W. Adamson_ and _Alexander R. Povolotsky_, May 29 2009

%C Number of ordered pairs of integers (x,y) with abs(x) < n, abs(y) < n and abs(x + y) < n, counting twice pairs of equal numbers. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jan 23 2012; corrected and extended by _Mauro Fiorentini_, Jan 01 2018

%C The number of pairs without repetitions is a(n) - 2n + 3 for n > 1. For example, there are 19 such pairs for n = 3: (-2, 0), (-2, 1), (-2, 2), (-1, -1), (-1, 0), (-1, 1), (-1, 2), (0, -2), (0, -1), (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, -2), (1, -1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (2, -2), (2, -1), (2, 0). - _Mauro Fiorentini_, Jan 01 2018

%F a(n) = (7*n^2 - 7*n + 2)/2.

%F a(n) = 1 + Sum_{k=1..n} 7*k. - Xavier Acloque, Oct 26 2003

%F Binomial transform of [1, 7, 7, 0, 0, 0, ...]; Narayana transform (A001263) of [1, 7, 0, 0, 0, ...]. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Dec 29 2007

%F a(n) = 7*n + a(n-1) - 7 (with a(1)=1). - _Vincenzo Librandi_, Aug 08 2010

%F G.f.: x*(1+5*x+x^2) / (1-x)^3. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 04 2011

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3); a(0)=1, a(1)=8, a(2)=22. - _Harvey P. Dale_, Jun 04 2011

%F a(n) = A024966(n-1) + 1. - _Omar E. Pol_, Oct 03 2011

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 7. - _Ant King_, Jun 17 2012

%F From _Ant King_, Jun 17 2012: (Start)

%F Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 2*Pi/sqrt(7)*tanh(Pi/(2*sqrt(7))) = 1.264723171685652...

%F a(n) == 1 (mod 7) for all n.

%F The sequence of digital roots of the a(n) is period 9: repeat [1, 8, 4, 7, 8, 7, 4, 8, 1] (the period is a palindrome).

%F The sequence of a(n) mod 10 is period 20: repeat [1, 8, 2, 3, 1, 6, 8, 7, 3, 6, 6, 3, 7, 8, 6, 1, 3, 2, 8, 1] (the period is a palindrome).

%F a(n) = A101321(7,n-1). - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 28 2016

%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 20 2020: (Start)

%F Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n! = 9*e/2 - 1.

%F Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^n * a(n)/n! = 9/(2*e) - 1. (End)

%F a(n) = A003215(n-1) + A000217(n-1). - _Leo Tavares_, Jul 19 2022

%e a(5) = 71 because 71 = (7*5^2 - 7*5 + 2)/2 = (175 - 35 + 2)/2 = 142/2.

%e From _Bruno Berselli_, Oct 27 2017: (Start)

%e 1 = -(0) + (1).

%e 8 = -(0+1) + (2+3+4).

%e 22 = -(0+1+2) + (3+4+5+6+7).

%e 43 = -(0+1+2+3) + (4+5+6+7+8+9+10).
