%N Odd central polygonal numbers.

%C Even triangular numbers plus 1.

%C Union of A188135 and A185438 without repetitions ( A188135 is a bisection of this sequence. Another bisection is A185438 but without its initial term).

%F a(n) = (4*n^2+2*(-1)^n*n-4*n-(-1)^n+3)/2.

%F a(n) = 2*n^2-n+1 for n even.

%F a(n) = 2*n^2-3*n+2 for n odd.
