Comments

Another parametric representation of the solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2 - y^2 =z^3 is (x,y,z) = (15n^3, 3n^3, 6n^2), thus getting a(n) = 18n^3 + 6n^2.

Formula

O.g.f.: 12x(2+6x+x^2)/(-1+x)^4. a(n)=12*A036659(n). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 07 2008

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 10 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/36 + sqrt(3)*Pi/12 + 3*log(3)/4 - 3/2.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/72 - sqrt(3)*Pi/6 - log(2) + 3/2. (End)

Mathematica

a[n_] := 18*n^3 + 6*n^2; Array[a, 50, 0] (* Amiram Eldar, Jan 10 2023 *)
