Ellerstein (ellerstein(AT)aol.com), Mar 09 2002 %C A029549 In other words, triangular numbers which are products of two consecutive numbers. E.g. a(2)=210: 210 is a triangular number which is the product of two consecutive numbers: 14*15.- Shyam Sunder Gupta (guptass(AT)rediffmail.com), Oct 26 2002 %C A029549 Coefficients of the series giving the best rational approximations to sqrt(8). The partial sums of the series 3 - 1/a(1) - 1/a(2) - 1/a(3) - ... give the best rational approximations to sqrt(8) = 2 sqrt(2), which constitute every second convergent of the continued fraction. The corresponding continued fractions are [2;1,4,1], [2;1,4,1,4,1], [2;1,4,1,4,1,4,1], [2;1,4,1,4,1,4,1,4,1] and so forth. - Gene Ward Smith (genewardsmith(AT)gmail.com), Sep 30 2006 %H A029549 Shyam Sunder Gupta Fascinating Triangular Numbers %F A029549 G.f.: 6x/(1-35*x+35*x^2-x^3). %F A029549 a(n) = -3/16 + (3/32+1/16*2^(1/2))*(17+12*2^(1/2))^n + (3/32-1/16*2^(1/ 2))*(17-12*2^(1/2))^n. - Gene Ward Smith (genewardsmith(AT)gmail.com), Sep 30 2006 %F A029549 a(n) = Binomial(A001652(n), 2) = A000217(A001652(n)). - Mitch Harris, Apr 19 2007, R.
