For n >= 1, the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(4*a(n)) is [6n; {1, 1, 1, 3n-1, 1, 1, 1, 12n}]. - Magus K. Chu, Sep 17 2022

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = n*(9*n + 2), as conjectured by V. Librandi. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 01 2009
G.f.: x*(11+7*x)/(1-x)^3. - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Aug 30 2009
a(n) = floor((3*n + 1/3)^2). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 14 2010
From Elmo R. Oliveira, Dec 15 2024: (Start)
E.g.f.: exp(x)*x*(11 + 9*x).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n >= 3. (End)
