For n>=1, a(n) is the first Zagreb index of the triangular grid graph T[n] (see the West reference, p. 390). The first Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the squared degrees of its vertices. Alternately, it is the sum of the degree sums d(i)+d(j) over all edges ij of the graph. - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 10 2016
The M-polynomial of the triangular grid graph T[n] is M(T[n], x, y) = 6*x^2*y^4 + 3*(n-1)*x^4*y^4 +6*(n-2)*x^4*y^6+3*(n-2)*(n-3)*x^6*y^6/2. - Emeric Deutsch, May 09 2018
This is the number of overlapping six sphinx tiled shapes in the sphinx tessellated hexagon described in A291582. - Craig Knecht, Sep 13 2017
a(n) is the number of words of length 3n over the alphabet {a,b,c}, where the number of b's plus the number of c's is 2. - Juan Camacho, Mar 03 2021
Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 12, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized 11-gonal numbers A195160. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 12 2021
