%N a(n) = A005449(n) - 1, where A005449 = second pentagonal numbers.

%C Row sums of triangle A131414.

%C Equals binomial transform of (1,5,3,0,0,0,...). Equals A051340 * (1,2,3,...).

%C a(n) is essentially the case -1 of the polygonal numbers. The polygonal numbers are defined as P_k(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (k-2)*i-(k-3). Thus P_{-1}(n) = n*(5-3*n)/2 and a(n) = -P_{-1}(n+2). - _Peter Luschny_, Jul 08 2011

%C Beginning with n=2, a(n) is the falling diagonal starting with T(1,3) in A049777 (as a square array). - _Bob Selcoe_, Oct 27 2014
