COMMENT

Write 0,1,2,3,4,... in a triangular spiral, then a(n) is the sequence found by reading from 0 in the vertical upward direction.

Number of edges in the join of two complete graphs of order 2n and n, K_2n * K_n - Roberto E. Martinez II (remartin(AT)fas.harvard.edu), Jan 07 2002

3 times pentagonal numbers. [From Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Dec 14 2008]

FORMULA

a(n) = n*(9n-3)/2

a(n)=C(3*n,2),n>=0. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 02 2007

a(n) = (9n^2-3n)/2 = 3n(3n-1)/2 = A000326(n)*3. [From Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Dec 11 2008]

a(n)=9*n+a(n-1)-15 (with a(1)=0) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Nov 12 2009]

EXAMPLE

The spiral begins:

..........15

........16..14

......17..3...13

....18..4...2...12

..19..5...0...1...11

20..6...7...8...9...10

For n=2, a(2)=9*2+0-15=3; n=3, a(3)=9*3+3-15=15; n=4, a(4)=9*4+15-15=36 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Nov 12 2009]
