COMMENTS
The round function, also called the nearest integer function, is defined here by round(x)=floor(x+1/2).
There are several sequences of integers of the form round(n^2/k) for whose partial sums we can establish identities as following (only for k = 2, ..., 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 28, 29, 36, 44).

FORMULA
a(n) = round((n-2)*(n+3)*(2*n+1)/66).
a(n) = floor((2*n^3 + 3*n^2 - 11*n + 18)/66).
a(n) = ceiling((2*n^3 + 3*n^2 - 11*n - 30)/66).
a(n) = round(n*(2*n^2 + 3*n - 11)/66).
a(n) = a(n-11) + (n+1)*(n-11) + 44, n > 10.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + a(n-11) - 3*a(n-12) + 3*a(n-13) - a(n-14). [R. J. Mathar, Dec 10 2010]

EXAMPLE
