COMMENTS
Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 3, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the triangular numbers A000217. Opposite numbers to the members of A139276 in the same spiral.
FORMULA
a(n) = 8*n^2 - 5*n.
Sequences of the form a(n) = 8*n^2 + c*n have generating functions x{c+8+(8-c)x} / (1-x)^3 and recurrence a(n) = 3a(n-1) - 3a(n-2) + a(n-3). The inverse binomial transform is 0, c+8, 16, 0, 0, ... (0 continued). This applies to A139271-A139278, positive or negative c. - R. J. Mathar, May 12 2008
a(n) = 16*n + a(n-1) - 13 with n>0, a(0)=0. - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 03 2010
From G. C. Greubel, Jul 18 2017: (Start)
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f.: x*(13*x + 3)/(1-x)^3.
E.g.f.: (8*x^2 + 3*x)*exp(x). (End)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = ((sqrt(2)-1)*Pi + 8*log(2) - 2*sqrt(2)*log(sqrt(2)+1))/10. - Amiram Eldar, Mar 17 2022
