Comments

Icosahedral gnomic numbers: first differences of icosahedral numbers.

The sequence is related to other gnomons of polyhedra, known by other more familiar names: triangular (tetrahedral gnomic), hex (cubic gnomic), square pyramidal numbers (octahedral gnomic).

Formula

From Colin Barker, Apr 30 2012: (Start)

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

G.f.: (6*x^2 + 8*x + 1)/(1-x)^3. (End)

E.g.f.: exp(x)*(1 + 10*x + 15*x^2/2). - Elmo R. Oliveira, Oct 21 2024
