Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N 16k^2-32k+8 interleaved with 16k^2-16k+8 for k>=0.
%C The sequence (the first in the family) is present as a family of single interleaved sequence of which are separated or factored out of the larger sequence to give individual sequences. The larger sequence produces four smaller interleaved sequences where one of them has the formula above and a second interleaved sequences having the formulas (16n^2-24n+1) and (16n^2-6n+5). This interleaved sequence is A214393. The fourth interleaved sequence in the group has the formulas (16n^2-8n-7) and (16n^2+2n+5) and it is A214405. There are a total of four sequences in this family.
