COMMENT

Difference between n-th centered hexagonal number and (2n)^2. - Alonso Delarte (alonso.delarte(AT)gmail.com), Jul 06 2004

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 29 2009: (Start)

Given the roots to n^2 + 3n - 1, a = -3.302775..., b = .302775...; then

a(n) = (n + 3 + a) * (n + 3 + b). Example: a(3) = 17 = (6 - 3.302...) *

(6 + .302775) (End)

FORMULA

a(n)=2*n+a(n-1) (with a(1)=-1) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Nov 29 2009]

EXAMPLE

For n=2, a(2)=2*2-1=3; n=3, a(3)=2*3+3=9; n=4, a(4)=2*4+9=17 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Nov 29 2009]
