Alternately add and subtract successively longer sets of integers: 0; 1=0+1; -4=1-2-3; 11=-4+4+5+6; -23=11-7-8-9-10; 42=-23+11+12+13+14+15; -69=42-16-17-18-19-20-21; ... them take absolute values. - Walter G. Carlini (541carlini(AT)charter.net), Aug 28 2003

FORMULA

Floor ( (n^2+1)(2n+3)/8 ). G.f.: x(x^2+x+1)/((x+1)(x-1)^4).
Floor [ ( 2n^3 + 3n^2 + 2n )/8 ]; also nearest integer to ( (n+1)^4 - n^4 )/16.
a(n)=(4n^3+6n^2+4n+1-(-1)^n)/16. - Wesley Petty (Wesley.Petty(AT)mail.tamucc.edu), Mar 06 2004
