a(n) gives the number of hexagons that have vertices at the lattice points and sides on lattice lines of a triangular lattice with sides n+3. Note that the hexagons can be non-regular. This problem appeared as ConvexHexagons in Single Round Match 455 in TopCoder. - Dmitry Kamenetsky, Dec 17 2009

FORMULA

From G. C. Greubel, Jul 02 2021: (Start)
a(n) = (1/1920)*(4*n^6 +72*n^5 +530*n^4 +2040*n^3 +4296*n^2 +4608*n +1905 +15*(-1)^n).
a(2*n+1) = (1/15)*binomial(n+2, 2)*binomial(n+3, 2)*(8*n^2 + 32*n + 35).
a(2*n) = (1/30)*binomial(n+2, 2)*(8*n^4 + 48*n^3 + 105*n^2 + 99*n + 30).
G.f.: (1 - x^3)/((1-x^2)*(1-x)^7).
E.g.f.: (1/1920)*((1905 +2*x*(5775 +7665*x +3690*x^2 +755*x^3 +66*x^4 +2*x^5))*exp(x) + 15*exp(-x)). (End)
a(n) = A001779(n)-A001779(n-3). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 04 2021
