COMMENTS
In general, all sequences of equations which contain every positive integer in order exactly once (a pairwise equal summed, ordered partition of the positive integers) may be defined as follows: For all k, let x(k)=A001652(k) and z(k)=A001653(k). Then if we define a(n) to be (x(k)+z(k))n^2-(z(k)-1)n-x(k), the following equation is true: a(n)+(a(n)+1)+...+(a(n)+(x(k)+z(k))n+(2x(k)+z(k)-1)/2)=(a(n)+ (x(k)+z(k))n+(2x(k)+z(k)+1)/2)+...+(a(n)+2(x(k)+z(k))n+x(k)); a(n)+2(x(k)+z(k))n+x(k))=a(n+1)-1; e.g., in this sequence, x(4)=A001652(4)=696 and z(4)=A001653(4)=985; cf. A000290, A118057-A118059, A118061.

FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-3*a(n-2)+a(n-3). G.f.: x*(1+4057*x-696*x^2)/(1-x)^3. - Colin Barker, Jul 01 2012
a(n)+(a(n)+1)+...+(a(n)+1681n+1188) = (a(n)+1681n+1189)+ ... +a(n+1)-1; a(n+1)-1 = a(n)+3362n+696.
a(n)+(a(n)+1)+...+(a(n)+1681n+1188)=41(41n-12)(41n+29)(82n+17)/2; e.g., 11481+11482+...+17712=90965388=41*111*152*263/2.
EXAMPLE
a(3)=1681*3^2-984*3-696=11481, a(4)=1681*4^2-984*4-696=22264 and 11481+11482+...+17712=17713+...+22263
