Table of n, a(n) for n=1..56.

Formula

a(n) = A212014(n)/2.

Let R = floor(sqrt(8*n+1)) and S = floor(R/2) + R mod 2; then a(n) = binomial(S,3) + n + (n-binomial(S,2))*(S*(S+3)-2*n-2)/4. - Gerald Hillier, Jan 16 2018

Example

Example 1: written as a triangle in which row i is related to the (i-1)st level of nucleus. Triangle begins:
    1;
    3,   4;
    7,   9,  10;
   14,  17,  19,  20;
   25,  29,  32,  34,  35;
   41,  46,  50,  53,  55,  56;
   63,  69,  74,  78,  81,  83,  84;
   92,  99, 105, 110, 114, 117, 119, 120;
  129, 137, 144, 150, 155, 159, 162, 164, 165;
  175, 184, 192, 199, 205, 210, 214, 217, 219, 220;
  ...
Column 1 gives positive terms of A004006. Right border gives positive terms of A000292. Row sums give positive terms of A006325.
Example 2: written as an irregular triangle in which row j is related to the j-th shell of nucleus. Note that in this case row 4 has only one term. Triangle begins:
    1;
    3,   4;
    7,   9,  10;
   14;
   17,  19,  20,  25;
   29,  32,  34,  35,  41;
   46,  50,  53,  55,  56,  63;
   69,  74,  78,  81,  83,  84,  92;
   99, 105, 110, 114, 117, 119, 120, 129;
  137, 144, 150, 155, 159, 162, 164, 165, 175;
  184, 192, 199, 205, 210, 214, 217, 219, 220, 231;
