Formula

a(n) = C(5*n,2)/5 for n>=0. - Zerinvary Lajos, Jan 02 2007

a(n) = A033991(n) - A000326(n). - Zerinvary Lajos, Jun 11 2007

a(n) = a(n-1) + 5*n - 3 for n>0, a(0)=0. - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 18 2010

a(n) = A000217(n) + A000384(n) = A000290(n) + A000326(n). - Omar E. Pol, Jan 11 2013

a(n) = A130520(5*n+1). - Philippe Deléham, Mar 26 2013

a(n) = A033994(n) - A033994(n-1). - J. M. Bergot, Jun 12 2013

From Bruno Berselli, Oct 17 2016: (Start)

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

a(n) = A000217(3*n-1) - A000217(2*n-1). (End)

E.g.f.: x*(4 + 5*x)*exp(x)/2. - G. C. Greubel, Jul 30 2019

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 2 * A294833. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 16 2020

From Leo Tavares, Nov 20 2021: (Start)

a(n) = A016754(n) - A133694(n+1). See Triangulated Diamonds illustration.

a(n) = A000290(n) + A000217(n) + 2*A000217(n-1)

a(n) = 2*A000217(n) + 3*A000217(n-1). (End)
