Table of n, a(n) for n=1..31.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,-15,20,-15,6,-1).

Formula

a(n) = k(k+1)(2k+1)/6 - r(r+1)(2r+1)/6, where k = n(n+1)/2 and r = n(n-1)/2.

a(n) = (n/12)*(3n^2+1)*(n^2+2). - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 26 2002

G.f.: x*(1+3*x+x^2)*(1+4*x+x^2)/(1-x)^6. - Colin Barker, Mar 23 2012

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 15*a(n-2) + 20*a(n-3) - 15*a(n-4) + 6*a(n-5) - a(n-6) for n > 6. - Jinyuan Wang, May 25 2020

E.g.f.: exp(x)*x*(12 + 66*x + 82*x^2 + 30*x^3 + 3*x^4)/12. - Stefano Spezia, May 14 2024

Example

1^2 = 1; 2^2 + 3^2 = 13; 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^2 = 77; ...
