FORMULA

a(n) = 3n^2+1 = a(n-1)+6n-3 = 2a(n-1)-a(n-2)+6 = 3a(n-1)-3a(n-2)+a(n-3) = A056105(n)+2n = A056106(n)+n = A056108(n)-n = A056109(n)-2n = A003215(n)-3n

a(n)={A000578(n+1) - A000578(n-1)}/2. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 29 2005

a(n) = A132111(n+1,n-1) for n>1. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Aug 10 2007

Equals binomial transform of [1, 3, 6, 0, 0, 0,...] - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 03 2008

a(n)=6*n+a(n-1)-9 (with a(1)=1) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Nov 09 2009]

EXAMPLE

For n=2, a(2)=6*2+1-9=4; n=3, a(3)=6*3+4-9=13; n=4, a(4)=6*4+13-9=28 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Nov 09 2009]

MAPLE

with (combinat):seq((fibonacci(5, n)-n^4), n=0..46); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 07 2008

MATHEMATICA

s = 1; lst = {s}; Do[s += n + 2; AppendTo[lst, s], {n, 1, 275, 6}]; lst [From Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 11 2009]
