An n X n nonnegative matrix A is primitive (see A070322) iff every element of A^k is > 0 for some power k. If A is primitive then the power which should have all positive entries is <= n^2 - 2n + 2 (Wielandt).
a(n) = Phi_4(n), where Phi_k is the k-th cyclotomic polynomial.
As the positive solution to x=2n+1/x is x=n+sqrt(a(n)), the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(a(n)) is {n; 2n, 2n, 2n, 2n, ...}. - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 07 2001
a(n) is one less than the arithmetic mean of its neighbors: a(n) = (a(n-1) + a(n+1))/2 - 1. E.g., 2 = (1+5)/2 - 1, 5 = (2+10)/2 - 1. - Amarnath Murthy, Jul 29 2003
Equivalently, the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(a(n)) is (n;2n,2n,2n,...). - Franz Vrabec, Jan 23 2006
Number of {12,1*2*,21}-avoiding signed permutations in the hyperoctahedral group.
The number of squares of side 1 which can be drawn without lifting the pencil, starting at one corner of an n X n grid and never visiting an edge twice is n^2-2n+2. - Sébastien Dumortier, Jun 16 2005

For n >= 1, a(n-1) is the minimal number of choices from an n-set such that at least one particular element has been chosen at least n times or each of the n elements has been chosen at least once. Some games define "matches" this way; e.g., in the classic Parker Brothers, now Hasbro, board game Risk, a(2)=5 is the number of cards of three available types (suits) required to guarantee at least one match of three different types or of three of the same type (ignoring any jokers or wildcards). - Rick L. Shepherd, Nov 18 2007
Positive X values of solutions to the equation X^3 + (X - 1)^2 + X - 2 = Y^2. To prove that X = n^2 + 1: Y^2 = X^3 + (X - 1)^2 + X - 2 = X^3 + X^2 - X - 1 = (X - 1)(X^2 + 2X + 1) = (X - 1)*(X + 1)^2 it means: (X - 1) must be a perfect square, so X = n^2 + 1 and Y = n(n^2 + 2). - Mohamed Bouhamida, Nov 29 2007
{a(k): 0 <= k < 4} = divisors of 10. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 17 2009
Appears in A054413 and A086902 in relation to sequences related to the numerators and denominators of continued fractions convergents to sqrt((2*n)^2/4 + 1), n=1, 2, 3, ... . - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010
For n > 0, continued fraction [n,n] = n/a(n); e.g., [5,5] = 5/26. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 15 2010
The only real solution of the form f(x) = A*x^p with negative p which satisfies f^(m)(x) = f^[-1](x), x >= 0, m >= 1, with f^(m) the m-th derivative and f^[-1] the compositional inverse of f, is obtained for m=2*n, p=p(n)= -(sqrt(a(n))-n) and A=A(n)=(fallfac(p(n),2*n))^(-p(n)/(p(n)+1)), with fallfac(x,k):=Product_{j=0..k-1} (x-j) (falling factorials). See the T. Koshy reference, pp. 263-4 (there are also two solutions for positive p, see the corresponding comment in A087475). - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 21 2010
n + sqrt(a(n)) = [2*n;2*n,2*n,...] with the regular continued fraction with period 1. This is the even case. For the general case see A087475 with the Schroeder reference and comments. For the odd case see A078370.
a(n-1) counts configurations of non-attacking bishops on a 2 X n strip [Chaiken et al., Ann. Combin. 14 (2010) 419]. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 16 2011
Also numbers k such that 4*k-4 is a square. Hence this sequence is the union of A053755 and A069894. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Aug 02 2011
a(n) is also the Moore lower bound on the order, A191595(n), of an (n,5)-cage. - Jason Kimberley, Oct 17 2011

If h (5,17,37,65,101,...) is prime is relatively prime to 6, then h^2-1 is divisible by 24. - Vincenzo Librandi, Apr 14 2014
The identity (4*n^2+2)^2 - (n^2+1)*(4*n)^2 = 4 can be written as A005899(n)^2 - a(n)*A008586(n)^2 = 4. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 15 2014
a(n) is also the number of permutations simultaneously avoiding 213 and 321 in the classical sense which can be realized as labels on an increasing strict binary tree with 2n-1 nodes. See A245904 for more information on increasing strict binary trees. - Manda Riehl, Aug 07 2014
a(n-1) is the maximum number of stages in the Gale-Shapley algorithm for finding a stable matching between two sets of n elements given an ordering of preferences for each element (see Gura et al.). - Melvin Peralta, Feb 07 2016
Because of Fermat's little theorem, a(n) is never divisible by 3. - Altug Alkan, Apr 08 2016
For n > 0, if a(n) points are placed inside an n X n square, it will always be the case that at least two of the points will be a distance of sqrt(2) units apart or less. - Melvin Peralta, Jan 21 2017
Also the limit as q->1^- of the unimodal polynomial (1-q^(n*k+1))/(1-q) after making the simplification k=n. The unimodal polynomial is from O'Hara's proof of unimodality of q-binomials after making the restriction to partitions of size <= 1. See G_1(n,k) from arXiv:1711.11252. As the size restriction s increases, G_s->G_infinity=G: the q-binomials. Then substituting k=n and q=1 yields the central binomial coefficients: A000984. - Bryan T. Ek, Apr 11 2018
a(n) is the smallest number congruent to both 1 (mod n) and 2 (mod n+1). - David James Sycamore, Apr 04 2019
a(n) is the number of permutations of 1,2,...,n+1 with exactly one reduced decomposition. - Richard Stanley, Dec 22 2022
From Klaus Purath, Apr 03 2025: (Start)
The odd prime factors of these terms are always of the form 4*k + 1.
All a(n) = D satisfy the Pell equation (k*x)^2 - D*y^2 = -1. The values for k and the solutions x, y can be calculated using the following algorithm: k = n, x(0) = 1, x(1) = 4*D - 1, y(0) = 1, y(1) = 4*D - 3. The two recurrences are of the form (4*D - 2, -1). The solutions x, y of the Pell equations for n = {1 ... 14} are in OEIS.
It follows from the above that this sequence is a subsequence of A031396. (End)

Write the natural numbers in groups: 1; 2,3,4; 5,6,7,8,9; 10,11,12,13,14,15,16; ..... and add the groups, i.e., a(n) = Sum_{j=n^2-2(n-1)..n^2} j. - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de), Sep 05 2001
The numbers 1, 9, 35, 91, etc. are divisible by 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. Therefore there are no prime numbers in this list. 9 is divisible by 3 and every third number after 9 is also divisible by 3. 35 is divisible by 5 and 7 and every fifth number after 35 is also divisible by 5 and every seventh number after 35 is also divisible by 7. This pattern continues indefinitely. - Howard Berman (howard_berman(AT)hotmail.com), Nov 07 2008
n^3 + (n+1)^3 = (2n+1)*(n^2+n+1), hence all terms are composite. - Zak Seidov, Feb 08 2011

Number of points in simple cubic lattice at most n steps from origin.
If X is an n-set and Y_i (i=1,2,3) mutually disjoint 2-subsets of X then a(n-6) is equal to the number of 6-subsets of X intersecting each Y_i (i=1,2,3). - Milan Janjic, Aug 26 2007
Equals binomial transform of [1, 6, 12, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...] where (1, 6, 12, 8) = row 3 of the Chebyshev triangle A013609. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 19 2008
Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=2,(i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n >= 4, a(n-2) = -coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^(n-3)). - Milan Janjic, Jan 26 2010
a(n) = A005408(n) * A097080(n-1) / 3. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 15 2013
a(n) = D(3,n) where D are the Delannoy numbers (A008288). As such, a(n) gives the number of grid paths from (0,0) to (3,n) using steps that move one unit north, east, or northeast. - David Eppstein, Sep 07 2014
The first comment above can be re-expressed and generalized as follows: a(n) is the number of points in Z^3 that are L1 (Manhattan) distance <= n from any given point. Equivalently, due to a symmetry that is easier to see in the Delannoy numbers array (A008288), as a special case of Dmitry Zaitsev's Dec 10 2015 comment on A008288, a(n) is the number of points in Z^n that are L1 (Manhattan) distance <= 3 from any given point. - Shel Kaphan, Jan 02 2023
