COMMENTS
The second differences repeat with period 1,0,1,0,0 for n >= 20.
a(n) is a lower bound on A085577(n-2). The Ngaokrajang link shows arrangements of a(n) Greek crosses in an n X n grid. Note that a(11)=16, whereas A085577(9)=17, so the bound is not always tight. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 19 2015

Kival Ngaokrajang, Packings of a(n) Greek crosses. [Note that it is possible to pack 17 Greek crosses into an 11 X 11 grid (see A085577), so these arrangements are not always optimal. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 19 2015]
