%N The sum of the numbers of the central diamond of the multiplication table [1..k] X [1..k] for k=2*n-1.

%C a(n) is the sum of the elements of the multiplication table, forming the maximum diamond in its center.

%H Nicolay Avilov, <a href="/A357042/a357042.jpg">Drawing for a(1)-a(5)</a>

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (5,-10,10,-5,1).

%F a(n) = n^2*(2*n^2 - 2*n + 1).

%F а(n) = 2*A000583(n) - A015237(n).

%F From _Stefano Spezia_, Sep 19 2022: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(1 + 15*x + 27*x^2 + 5*x^3)/(1 - x)^5.

%F a(n) = A000290(n)*A001844(n-1). (End)

%e In the multiplication table [1..3] X [1..3]: a(2) = 2+2+4+6+6 = 20;

%e In the multiplication table [1..5] X [1..5]: a(3) = 3+4+3+6+6+8+9+8+12+12+15+16+15 = 117.

%e For n=3, the multiplication table [1..5] X [1..5] and the terms summed are

%e * 1 2 3 4 5
