Write the natural numbers in groups: 1; 2,3,4; 5,6,7,8,9; 10,11,12,13,14,15,16; ..... and add the groups, i.e., a(n) = Sum_{j=n^2-2(n-1)..n^2} j. - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de), Sep 05 2001
The numbers 1, 9, 35, 91, etc. are divisible by 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. Therefore there are no prime numbers in this list. 9 is divisible by 3 and every third number after 9 is also divisible by 3. 35 is divisible by 5 and 7 and every fifth number after 35 is also divisible by 5 and every seventh number after 35 is also divisible by 7. This pattern continues indefinitely. - Howard Berman (howard_berman(AT)hotmail.com), Nov 07 2008

COMMENTS
Number of points in simple cubic lattice at most n steps from origin.
If X is an n-set and Y_i (i=1,2,3) mutually disjoint 2-subsets of X then a(n-6) is equal to the number of 6-subsets of X intersecting each Y_i (i=1,2,3). - Milan Janjic, Aug 26 2007 Equals binomial transform of [1, 6, 12, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...] where (1, 6, 12, 8) = row 3 of the Chebyshev triangle A013609. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 19 2008 Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=2,(i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n >= 4, a(n-2) = -coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^(n-3)). - Milan Janjic, Jan 26 2010 a(n) = D(3,n) where D are the Delannoy numbers ( A008288). As such, a(n) gives the number of grid paths from (0,0) to (3,n) using steps that move one unit north, east, or northeast. - David Eppstein, Sep 07 2014 The first comment above can be re-expressed and generalized as follows: a(n) is the number of points in Z^3 that are L1 (Manhattan) distance <= n from any given point. Equivalently, due to a symmetry that is easier to see in the Delannoy numbers array ( A008288), as a special case of Dmitry Zaitsev's Dec 10 2015 comment on A008288, a(n) is the number of points in Z^n that are L1 (Manhattan) distance <= 3 from any given point. - Shel Kaphan, Jan 02 2023

Number of n-matchings of the wheel graph W_{2n} (n > 0). Example: a(2)=10 because in the wheel W_4 (rectangle ABCD and spokes OA,OB,OC,OD) we have the 2-matchings: (AB, OC), (AB, OD), (BC, OA), (BC,OD), (CD,OA), (CD,OB), (DA,OB), (DA,OC), (AB,CD) and (BC,DA). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 25 2004 For n > 0 a(n) is the difference of two tetrahedral (or pyramidal) numbers: binomial(n+3, 3) = (n+1)(n+2)(n+3)/6. a(n) = A000292(n+1) - A000292(n-3) = (n+1)(n+2)(n+3)/6 - (n-3)(n-2)(n-1)/6. - Alexander Adamchuk, May 20 2006; updated by Peter Munn, Aug 25 2017 due to changed offset in A000292Equals binomial transform of [1, 3, 3, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, ...]. Binomial transform of A005893 = nonzero terms of A053545: (1, 5, 19, 63, 191, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 28 2008 Disregarding the terms < 10, the sums of four consecutive triangular numbers ( A000217). - Rick L. Shepherd, Sep 30 2009 Use a set of n concentric circles where n >= 0 to divide the plane. a(n) is the maximal number of regions after the 2nd division. - Frank M Jackson, Sep 07 2011 Euler transform of length 4 sequence [4, 0, 0, -1]. - Michael Somos, May 14 2014 Also, growth series for affine Coxeter group (or affine Weyl group) A_3 or D_3. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 11 2016 For n > 2 the generalized Pell's equation x^2 - 2*(a(n) - 2)y^2 = (a(n) - 4)^2 has a finite number of positive integer solutions. - Muniru A Asiru, Apr 19 2016

FORMULA
G.f.: (1 - x^4)/(1-x)^4.
a(n) = binomial(n+3, 3) - binomial(n-1, 3) for n >= 1. - Mitch Harris, Jan 08 2008 a(n) = (n+1)^2 + (n-1)^2. - Benjamin Abramowitz, Apr 14 2009
a(0)=1, a(1)=4, a(2)=10, a(3)=20, a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). - Harvey P. Dale, Feb 26 2012 For n >= 2: a(n) = a(n-1) + 4*n - 2. - Bob Selcoe, Mar 22 2016 Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi)*Pi + 3)/4.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (cosech(Pi)*Pi + 3)/4. (End)
Empirical: Integral_{u=-oo..+oo} sigmoid(u)*log(sigmoid(n * u)) du = -Pi^2*a(n) / (24*n), where sigmoid(x) = 1/(1+exp(-x)). Also works for non-integer n>0. - Carlo Wood, Dec 04 2023 Let P(k,n) be the n-th k-gonal number. Then P(a(k),n) = (k*n-k+1)^2 + (k-1)^2*(n-1). - Charlie Marion, May 15 2024

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+x)*(1+8*x+x^2)/(1-x)^3. - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation G.f. for coordination sequence for A_n lattice is (1-z)^(-n) * Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n, i)^2*z^i. [Bacher et al.]
a(n) = 12 + 24*(n-1) + 8* A000217(n-2) + 6* A000290(n-1). The properties of the cuboctahedron, namely, its number of vertices (12), edges (24), and faces as well as face-type (8 triangles and 6 squares), are involved in this formula. - Peter M. Chema, Mar 26 2017 E.g.f.: -1 + 2*(1 + 5*x + 5*x^2)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, May 25 2023 Sum{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 3/4 + Pi*sqrt(5)*coth(Pi/sqrt 5)/20 = 1.14624... - R. J. Mathar, Apr 27 2024
