COMMENT

If Y is a 4-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=4, a(n-4) is the number of 4-subsets of X having at least two elements in common with Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 08 2007

a(n) = A096777(3*n+1) . - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Dec 29 2007

Comment from A. K. Devaraj (dkandadai(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 18 2009: (Start)

Let f(x) be a polynomial in x. Then f(x + n*f(x)) is congruent to 0 (mod(f(x)); here n belongs to N.

There is nothing interesting in the quotients f(x + n*f(x))/f(x) when x belongs to Z.

However, when x is irrational these quotients consist of two parts, a) rational integers and b) integer multiples of x.

The present sequence is the integer part when the polynomial is x^2 + x + 1 and x = sqrt(2),

f(x+n*f(x))/f(x) = a(n) + A005563(n)*sqrt(2).

FORMULA

a(n) = 3n^2+n+1 = a(n-1)+6n-2 = 2a(n-1)-a(n-2)+6 = 3a(n-1)-3a(n-2)+a(n-3) = A056105(n)+3n = A056106(n)+2n = A056107(n)+n = A056109(n)-n = A003215(n)-2n

a(n) = sum of (n+1)-th row terms of triangle A134234.= - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 14 2007
