Comments

Numbers a(n) which are the products of the triangular number T(b(n)) and the square root of this triangular number plus one, sqrt(T(b(n))+1), where b(n) is the sequence A006451(n) of numbers n such that T(n)+1 is a square.

This sequence a(n) gives also the y solutions of the 3rd degree Diophantine Bachet-Mordell equation y^2=x^3+K, with x= T(b(n)) = A006454(n) and K = (T(b(n)))^2 = A285985(n), where T(b(n)) is the triangular number of b(n)= A006451(n).

Also: A000217(A006451(n)) * sqrt(A000217(A006451(n))+1).

Formula

Since b(n) = 8*sqrt(T(b(n-2))+1)+ b(n-4) = 8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4), with b(-1)=-1, b(0)=0, b(1)=2, b(2)=5 (see A006451) and a(n) = T(b(n))*sqrt(T(b(n))+1) (this sequence), one has :

a(n) = ([8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4)]*[ 8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4)+1]/2)* sqrt(([8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4)]*[ 8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4)+1]/2)+1).

Empirical g.f.: 6*x*(1 - x)*(1 + 11*x + 27*x^2 + 11*x^3 + x^4) / ((1 + 14*x - x^2)*(1 + 2*x - x^2)*(1 - 2*x - x^2)*(1 - 14*x - x^2)). - Colin Barker, Apr 30 2017

Example

For n=2, b(n)=5, a(n)=60.
For n=5, b(n)=90, a(n)= 262080.
For n = 3, A006451(n) = 15. Therefore, A000217(A006451(n)) = A000217(15) = 120. This gives A000217(A006451(n)) * sqrt(A000217(A006451(n)) + 1) = 120 * sqrt(120 + 1) = 1320. - David A. Corneth, Apr 29 2017
