Intersection of A000566 and A074378 (even triangular numbers divided by 2). - Michel Marcus, Jun 20 2015
FORMULA
G.f.: -9*x*(2*x^4+19*x^3+33170*x^2+19*x+2) / ((x-1)*(x^2-1442*x+1)*(x^2+1442*x+1)).
EXAMPLE
18 is in the sequence because 18 is the 3rd heptagonal number, and 2*18 is the 8th triangular number.
