COMMENT

Apart from the initial -1, these are the numbers k such that the triangular number k(k+1)/2 is the sum of three consecutive triangular numbers - see A129803. - Brian Nowell <brianjnow@iinet.net.au>, Nov 03 2009

FORMULA

a(n) = A001571(n) - 1. - njas, Nov 03 2009

G.f.: (-1+6x-2x^2)/((1-x)(1-4x+x^2)). With a=2+sqrt(3), b=2-sqrt(3): a(n)=-3/2+(1/12)(a-2b+5)a^n+(1/12)(b-2a+5)b^n. a(n)=-3/2 +(3/4)A003500(n)- (1/4)A003500(n-1). a(n)=(1/2)(A001834(n)-3).
