Comments

Partial sums of A014682(n+1). - Paul Barry, Mar 31 2008

a(n) is the sum of all parts in the integer partitions of n+1 into two parts, see example. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 26 2013

Also the independence number of the n X n torus grid graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Sep 06 2017

Also the number of circles we can draw on vertices of an (n+1)-sided regular polygon (using only a compass). - Matej Veselovac, Jan 21 2020

Formula

a(2*n) = a(2*n-1) + n = A014105(n).

a(2*n+1) = a(2*n) + 3*n + 2 = A001105(n+1).

G.f.: x*(2+x+x^2)/((1-x)^3*(1+x)^2).

a(n) = (n+1)*(2*n+1-(-1)^n)/4. - Paul Barry, Mar 31 2008

a(n) = (n+1)*floor((n+1)/2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 26 2013

a(n) = Sum_{i=1..floor((n+1)/2)} i + Sum_{i=ceiling((n+1)/2)..n} i. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 08 2013

From Amiram Eldar, Mar 10 2022: (Start)

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

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

Example

a(1) = 2 since 2 = (1+1) and the sum of the first and second parts in the partition is 2; a(2) = 3 since 3 = (1+2) and the sum of these parts is 3; a(3) = 8 since 4 = (1+3) = (2+2) and the sum of all the parts is 8. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 26 2013
