Also sequence found by reading the segment (1, 10) together with the line from 10, in the direction 10, 34, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized hexagonal numbers A000217. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 02 2012

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).

Formula

a(0) = 1; a(n) = 8*n^2+2 for n>0.

From Gary W. Adamson, Dec 27 2007: (Start)

a(n) = (2n+1)^2 + (2n-1)^2 for n>0.

Binomial transform of [1, 9, 15, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, ...]. (End)

From Colin Barker, Apr 13 2012: (Start)

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>3.

G.f.: (1+x)*(1+6*x+x^2)/(1-x)^3. (End)

From Bruce J. Nicholson, Jul 31 2019: (Start) Assume n>0.

a(n) = A016754(n) + A016754(n-1).

a(n) = 2 * A053755(n).

a(n) = A054554(n+1) + A054569(n+1).

a(n) = A033951(n) + A054552(n).

a(n) = A054556(n+1) + A054567(n+1). (End)

E.g.f.: -1 + 2*exp(x)*(1 + 2*x)^2. - Stefano Spezia, Aug 02 2019
