COMMENT

a(1..4)=(1,7,16,46); a(n>4)=6*a(n-2)-a(n-4)+2. [From Ctibor O. Zizka (c.zizka(AT)email.cz), Nov 10 2009]

Also numbers n such that (ceiling(sqrt(n*(n+1)/2)))^2 - n*(n+1)/2 = 8. [From Ctibor O. Zizka (c.zizka(AT)email.cz), Nov 10 2009]

FORMULA

{k: 8+k*(k+1)/2 in A000290}

Conjecture: a(n)= +a(n-1) +6*a(n-2) -6*a(n-3) -a(n-4) +a(n-5).

Conjecture: G.f.: x*(-1-6*x-3*x^2+6*x^3+2*x^4)/((x-1) * (x^2-2*x-1) * (x^2+2*x-1)) = =(4+1/(x-1)-3/(x^2+2*x-1)+(6+15*x)/(x^2-2*x-1))/2.

EXAMPLE

1*(1+1)/2+8 = 3^2. 7*(7+1)/2+8 = 6^2. 16*(16+1)/2+8 = 12^2. 46*(46+1)/2+8 = 33^2.
