COMMENT

Also a(n)=Sum(tan^2((k - 1/2)*pi/(2n)), k, 1, n); - Ignacio Larrosa (ignacio.larrosa(AT)eresmas.net), Apr 17 2001

Number of edges in the join of two complete graphs, each of order n, K_n * K_n - Roberto E. Martinez II (remartin(AT)fas.harvard.edu), Jan 07 2002

The power series expansion of the entropy function H(x) = (1+x)ln(1+x)+(1-x)ln(1-x) has 1/a_i as coefficient of x^(2i) (the odd terms being zero). - Tommaso Toffoli (tt(AT)bu.edu), May 06 2002

Partial sums of A016813 (4n+1). Also with offset = 0, a(n) = (2n+1)(n+1) = A005408 * A000027 = 2n^2 + 3n + 1, i.e. a(0) = 1. - Jeremy Gardiner (jeremy.gardiner(AT)btinternet.com), Sep 29 2002

Sequence also refers to greatest semiperimeter of primitive Pythagorean triangles having inradius n-1. Such a triangle has consecutive longer sides, with short leg 2n-1, hypotenus a(n)-(n-1)=A001844(n), and area (n-1)*a(n)=6*A000330(n-1). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 23 2003

Number of divisors of 12^(n-1), i.e. A000005(A001021(n-1)). - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Oct 22 2001

Number of standard tableaux of shape (2n-1,1,1) (n>=1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 30 2004

It is well known that for n>0, A014105(n) [0,3,10,21,...] is the first of 2n+1 consecutive integers such that the sum of the squares of the first n+1 such integers is equal to the sum of the squares of the last n; e.g. 10^2+11^2+12^2=13^2+14^2.

Less well known is that for n>1, a(n) [0,1,6,15,28... ] is the first of 2n consecutive integers such that sum of the squares of the first n such integers is equal to the sum of the squares of the last n-1 plus n^2; e.g. 15^2+16^2+17^2 = 19^2+20^2+3^2 - Charlie Marion, Dec 16 2006
