%N Connell sum sequence (partial sums of the Connell sequence).

%C a(n) is the sum of the n highest entries in the projection of the n-th tetrahedron or tetrahedral number (e.g., a(7) = 7+6+6+5+5+5+4+4).

%C a(n) is a sharp upper bound for the value of a gamma-labeling of a graph with n edges (cf. Bullington).

%F a(n) = (n-th triangular number) - n + (n-th partial sum of A122797).

%F a(n) = n^2 + n - R*((6*n+1)-R^2)/6, where R = round(sqrt(2*n)). - _Gerald Hillier_, Nov 29 2009
