COMMENT

From Balmer spectrum of hydrogen. Wavelengths in hydrogen spectrum are given by Rydberg's formula 1/wavelength = constant*(1/m^2 - 1/n^2).

a(n)= mix (A142705=A026741(n)*A026741(n+2)) , (A078371=A005408(n)*A005408(n+2)). Note A026741=mix A001477 , A005408. a(4n)=A001477(n)*A001477(n+1). [From Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Aug 27 2009]

FORMULA

G.f.: x^2(-3x^11-x^10-3x^9+14x^7+6x^6+30x^5+2x^4+21x^3+3x^2+5x)/(1-x^4)^3.

a(4n+2) = n(n+1), a(2n+3) = (2n+1)(2n+5), a(4n+4) = (2n+1)(2n+3). - Ralf Stephan, Jun 10 2005
