Equals binomial transform of [1, 18, 18, 0, 0, 0, ...]. Example: a(3) = 55 = (1, 2, 1) dot (1, 18, 18) = (1 + 36 + 18). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 24 2010
Narayana transform (A001263) of [1, 18, 0, 0, 0, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 28 2011
From Lamine Ngom, Aug 19 2021: (Start)
Sequence is a spoke of the hexagonal spiral built from the terms of A016777 (see illustration in links section).
a(n) is a bisection of A195042.
a(n) is a trisection of A028387.
a(n) + 1 is promic (A002378).
a(n) + 2 is a trisection of A002061.
a(n) + 9 is the arithmetic mean of its neighbors.
4*a(n) + 5 is a square: A016945(n)^2. (End)

FORMULA
a(n) = 9*n^2 - 9*n + 1.
a(n) = 18*n + a(n-1) - 18 (with a(1)=1). - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 08 2010
G.f.: ( x*(1+16*x+x^2) ) / ( (1-x)^3 ). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 04 2011
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3); a(1)=1, a(2)=19, a(3)=55. - Harvey P. Dale, Jan 20 2014
From Amiram Eldar, Jun 21 2020: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi*tan(sqrt(5)*Pi/6)/(3*sqrt(5)).
Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n! = 10*e - 1.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^n * a(n)/n! = 10/e - 1. (End)
From Lamine Ngom, Aug 19 2021: (Start)
a(n) = 18*A000217(n) + 1 = 9*A002378(n) + 1.
a(n) = 3*A003215(n) - 2.
a(n) = A247792(n) - 9*n.
a(n) = A082040(n) + A304163(n) - a(n-1) = A016778(n) + A016790(n) - a(n-1), n > 0.
a(n) + a(n+1) = 2*A247792(n) = A010008(n), n > 0.
a(n+1) - a(n) = 18*n = A008600(n). (End)

E.g.f.: exp(x)*(1 + 9*x^2) - 1. - Nikolaos Pantelidis, Feb 06 2023
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 181 because 9*5^2 - 9*5 + 1 = 225 - 45 + 1 = 181.
