Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A352755
Positive centered cube numbers that can be written as the difference of two positive cubes: a(n) = t*(3*t^2 + 4)*(t^2*(3*t^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4 with t = 2*n-1 and n > 0.

Numbers A > 0 such that A = B^3 + (B+1)^3 = C^3 - D^3 and such that C - D = 2n - 1, with C > D > B > 0, and A = t*(3*t^2 + 4)*(t^2*(3*t^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4 with t = 2*n-1, and where A = a(n) (this sequence), B = A352756(n), C = A352757(n) and D = A352758(n).
There are infinitely many such numbers a(n) = A in this sequence.
Subsequence of A005898, of A352133 and of A352220.

FORMULA
a(n) = A352756(n)^3 + (A352756(n) + 1)^3 = A352757(n)^3 - A352758(n)^3 and A352757(n) - A352758(n) = 2n - 1.
a(n) = (2*n - 1)*(3*(2*n - 1)^2 + 4)*((2*n - 1)^2*(3*(2*n - 1)^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4.
a(n) can be extended for negative n such that a(-n) = -a(n+1).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 91 belongs to the sequence because 91 = 3^3 + 4^3 = 6^3 - 5^3 and 6 - 5 = 1 = 2*1 - 1.
a(2) = 201159 belongs to the sequence because 201159 = 46^3 + 47^3 = 151^3 - 148^3 and 151 - 148 = 3 = 2*2 - 1.
a(3) = (2*3 - 1)*(3*(2*3 - 1)^2 + 4)*((2*3 - 1)^2*(3*(2*3 - 1)^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4 = 15407765.
MAPLE
restart; for n to 20 do (1/4)*(2*n-1)*(3*(2*n-1)^2+4)*((2*n-1)^2*(3*(2*n-1)^2+4)^2+3) end do;
