Comments

For every odd n the triple (a(n-1)^2, a(n)^2 , a(n+1)^2) is an arithmetic progression, i.e., 2*a(n)^2 = a(n-1)^2 + a(n+1)^2.

In general a triple((x-y)^2,z^2,(x+y)^2) is an arithmetic progression if and only if x^2+y^2=z^2.

The first differences of this sequence is the interleaved sequence 28,12,44,28,60,44....

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..46.

Formula

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-3)+a(n-4).

O.G.f.: (1+27*x-17*x^2+5*x^3)/((1+x)*(1-x)^3).

a(n) = 4*n*(n+3)-6*(-1)^n+7.

2*a(2n+1)^2 = a(2n)^2 + a(2n+2)^2.

Example

a(4) = 2*a(3) - 2*a(1) + a(0) = 2*85 - 2*29 + 1 = 113.
