%N a(2*k-1) = (2*k-1)^2 + 2 - k, a(2*k) = 6*k^2 + 2 - k: First column of the triangle A093915.
%C The sequence was initially defined as the first column of the triangle A093915, constructed by trial and error. It is however easy to prove that the sum of the r-th row of A093915, A093917(r), equals twice A006003(r) when r is odd, and three times A006003(r) when r is even. Given the expression of the row sum A093917(r) in terms of the first element a(r), one obtains the explicit formula for a(r). - _M. F. Hasler_, Apr 04 2009
