Comments

Also, numbers k such that 2*k^2 + k*(k+1)/2 is a triangular number. Example: 114985 is a term because 2*114985^2 + 114985*114986/2 = 257114*257115/2. - Bruno Berselli, Mar 02 2018

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,322,-322,-1,1).

Formula

a(1) = 0, a(2) = 1, a(3) = 52, a(4) = 357, a(5) = 16776; for n > 5, a(n) = a(n-1) + 322*a(n-2) - 322*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5).

a(n) = 322*a(n-2) - a(n-4) + 32.

a(n) = 72*A257939(n-2) + 161*a(n-2) + 52.
