COMMENT

The sequence 0,1,8,17,32,49,72,97,128,... arises from reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 1,... and the same line from 0, in the direction 0, 8,..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the triangular numbers A000217. Cf. A139591, etc. - Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), May 03 2008

FORMULA

a(2n) = 8*n^2, a(2n+1) = 8*n(n+1) +1.
