Initially defined as sum of the n-th row of the triangle A093915, constructed by trial and error. Namely, this row should contain n consecutive integers [x,x+1,...,x+n-1], listed in A093915, and have its sum a(n) = n*x+n(n-1)/2 equal to the least possible strict (>1) multiple of the sum of the indices of these elements in A093915, which equals A006003(n) = (n^3+n)/2. For odd n, a(n) = 2 A006003(n) is obtained for x = A093916(n). For even n, the sum a(n) cannot equal 2 A006003(n), but it does equal 3 A006003(n) for x = A093916(n). Hence this simple explicit definition of a(n). - M. F. Hasler, Apr 04 2009
