%N a(n) = 155*n - 38.

%C a(n) is the second Zagreb index of the polymer B(n,2), defined pictorially in the Bodroza-Pantic et al. reference (Fig. 4).

%C The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of the graph.

%C The M-polynomial of B[n,2] is M(B[n,2]; x,y) = 2*(n+2)*x^2*y^2 + 8*n*x^2*y^3 + (11*n-6)*x^3*y^3.
