%C More generally, the ordinary generating function for the generalized k-gonal numbers is x*(1 + (k - 4)*x + x^2)/((1 - x)^3*(1 + x)^2). A general formula for the generalized k-gonal numbers is given by (k*(2*n^2 + 2*((-1)^n + 1)*n + (-1)^n - 1) - 2*(2*n^2 + 2*(3*(-1)^n + 1)*n + 3*((-1)^n - 1)))/16.

%C For k>4, Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(k,n) = 2*(k-2)/(k-4)^2 + 2*Pi*cot(2*Pi/(k-2))/(k-4). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Oct 05 2016

%C Numbers k for which 104*k + 121 is a square. - _Bruno Berselli_, Jul 10 2018
