COMMENT

a(1..4)=(2,8,23,53); a(n>4)=6*a(n-2)-a(n-4)+2. [From Ctibor O. Zizka (c.zizka(AT)email.cz), Nov 10 2009]

FORMULA

{k: 13+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*(-2-6*x-3*x^2+6*x^3+3*x^4)/((x-1) * (x^2-2*x-1) * (x^2+2*x-1)) = (6+(-3-2*x)/(x^2+2*x-1)+1/(x-1)+(8+19*x)/(x^2-2*x-1))/2 .

EXAMPLE

2*(2+1)/2+13 = 4^2. 8*(8+1)/2+13 = 7^2. 23*(23+1)/2+13 = 17^2. 53*(53+1)/2+13 = 38^2.
