FORMULA
a(n) = A001107(-n) = A074377(2*n).
G.f.: x*(7+x)/(1-x)^3. - Michael Somos, Mar 03 2003
a(n) = a(n-1) + 8*n - 1 with a(0)=0. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 20 2010
For n>0, Sum_{j=0..n} (a(n) + j)^4 + (4*A000217(n))^3 = Sum_{j=n+1..2n} (a(n) + j)^4; see also A045944. - Charlie Marion, Dec 08 2007, edited by Michel Marcus, Mar 14 2014
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) with a(0) = 0, a(1) = 7, a(2) = 22. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 26 2013
a(n) = A118729(8n+6). - Philippe Deléham, Mar 26 2013
a(n) = A002943(n) + n = A007742(n) + 2n = A016742(n) + 3n = A033991(n) + 4n = A002939(n) + 5n = A001107(n) + 6n = A033996(n) - n. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 26 2013
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 4/9 + Pi/6 - log(2) = 0.2748960394827980081... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 27 2016
E.g.f.: exp(x)*x*(7 + 4*x). - Stefano Spezia, Jun 08 2021
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi/(3*sqrt(2)) + log(2)/3 - 4/9 - sqrt(2)*arcsinh(1)/3. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 28 2021
For n>0, (a(n)^2 + n)/(a(n) + n) = (4*n + 1)^2/4, a ratio of two squares. - Rick L. Shepherd, Feb 23 2022
a(n) = A060544(n+1) - A000217(n+1). - Leo Tavares, Mar 31 2022
