Table of n, a(n) for n=0..64.

Formula

a(n) = mix (from 2) n^2+1 (or A002522(n+2)), (ever from -3) successive -A005408.

a(n) = ((A^2+3*A-2*n)*(-A^2+A+2*(n+4))-(B^2+3*B-2*(n-1))*(-B^2+B+2*(n+3)))/4, where A = floor((sqrt(8*n+9)-1)/2) and B = floor((sqrt(8*(n-1)+9)-1)/2) = floor((sqrt(8*n+1)-1)/2). - Luce ETIENNE, May 31 2017
