Then a(n)=a(n-2)+8*sqrt(3*(a(n-1)^2)+3*a(n-1)+1). Another definition : a(n) such that 3*(a(n)^2)+3*a(n)+1 = j(n)^2. - Pierre CAMI (pierrecami(AT)tele2.fr), Mar 30 2005 %C A001921 a(n)=A001353(n)*A001075(n+1). For n>0, the triple {a(n), a(n)+1=A001922(n), A001570(n)} forms a near-isoceles triangle with angle 2*pi/3 bounded by the consecutive sides. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 21 2006 %D A001921 N.
