Comments

Partial sums give the generalized 19-gonal numbers (A303813).

a(n) is also the length of the n-th line segment of the rectangular spiral whose vertices are the generalized 19-gonal numbers.

Formula

a(2n) = 15*n, a(2n+1) = 2*n + 1.

From Colin Barker, Jul 29 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1 + 15*x + x^2) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)^2).

a(n) = 2*a(n-2) - a(n-4) for n>3. (End)

Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 15*2^(e-1), and a(p^e) = p^e for an odd prime p. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 14 2023

Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1) * (1 + 13/2^s). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 25 2023

Mathematica

a[n_] := If[OddQ[n], n, 15*n/2]; Array[a, 70, 0] (* Amiram Eldar, Oct 14 2023 *)
