%N Pentagonal numbers with odd index: a(n) = (2*n+1)*(3*n+1).

%C If Y is a 3-subset of an 2*n-set X then, for n >= 4, a(n-2) is the number of 4-subsets of X having at least two elements in common with Y. - _Milan Janjic_, Dec 16 2007

%C Sequence found by reading the line (one of the diagonal axes) from 1, in the direction 1, 12, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized pentagonal numbers A001318. - _Omar E. Pol_, Sep 08 2011

%C If two independent real random variables, x and y, are distributed according to the same exponential distribution: pdf(x) = lambda * exp(-lambda * x), lambda > 0, then the probability that 2 <= x/(n*y) < 3 is given by n/a(n) (for n>1). - _Andres Cicuttin_, Dec 11 2016

%C a(n) is the sum of 2*n+1 consecutive integers starting from 2*n+1. - _Bruno Berselli_, Jan 16 2018

%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Feb 20 2022: (Start)

%F Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = Pi/(2*sqrt(3)) - 2*log(2) + 3*log(3)/2.

%F Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (1/sqrt(3) - 1/2)*Pi + log(2). (End)
