a(n) is also the Wiener index of the windmill graph D(4,n). The windmill graph D(m,n) is the graph obtained by taking n copies of the complete graph K_m with a vertex in common (i.e. a bouquet of n pieces of K_m graphs). The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph. The Wiener index of D(m,n) is (1/2)n(m-1)[(m-1)(2n-1)+1]. For the Wiener indices of D(3,n), D(5,n), and D(6,n) see A033991, A028994, and A180577, respectively. - Emeric Deutsch, Sep 21 2010
a(n+1) gives the number of edges in a hexagon-like honeycomb built from A003215(n) congruent regular hexagons (see link). Example: a hexagon-like honeycomb consisting of 7 congruent regular hexagons has 1 core hexagon inside a perimeter of six hexagons. The perimeter consists of 18 external edges. There are 6 edges shared by the perimeter hexagons. The core hexagon has 6 edges. a(2) is the total number of edges, i.e. 18 + 6 + 6 = 30. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Mar 10 2015

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (9*log(3) - sqrt(3)*Pi)/18.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (Pi*sqrt(3) - 6*log(2))/9. (End)
