Numbers having equal numbers of odd and even divisors: A001227(a(n))=A000005(2*a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)lhsystems.com), Dec 28 2003

Maximum number of electrons in an atomic subshell with orbital quantum number l is 4l+2.

For n>0: complement of A107750 and A023416(a(n)-1)=A023416(a(n))<>A023416(a(n)+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)lhsystems.com), May 23 2005

Also the minimal value of sum([p(i)-p(i+1)]^2, i=1..n+2), where p(n+3)=p(1), as p ranges over all permutations of {1,2,...,n+2} (see the Mihai reference). Example: a(2)=10 because the values of the sum for the permutations of {1,2,3,4}are 10 (8 times), 12 (8 times) and 18 (8 times). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 30 2005
