This sequence could be derived from the following general formula (cf. A001286, A000330): n*(n+1)*...*(n+k)*(n + (n+1) + ... + (n+k))/((k+2)!*(k+1)/2) at k = 0. Indeed, using the formula for the sum of the arithmetic progression (n + (n+1) + ... + (n+k)) = (2*n + k)*(k + 1)/2 the general formula could be rewritten as: n*(n+1)*...*(n+k)*(2*n+k)/(k+2)! so for k = 0 above general formula degenerates to n*(2*n + 0)/(0 + 2) = n^2. - Alexander R.

As Beedassy's formula shows, this Hexagonal number sequence is the odd bisection of the Triangle number sequence. Both of these sequences are figurative number sequences.  For A000384, a(n) can be found by multiplying its triangle number by its hexagonal number. For example let's use the number 153. 153 is said to be the 17th triangle number but is also said to be the 9th hexagonal number. Triangle(17) Hexagonal(9). 17*9=153. Because the Hexagonal number sequence is a subset of the Triangle number sequence, the Hexagonal number sequence will always have both a triangle number and a hexagonal number. n* (2*n-1) because (2*n-1) renders the triangle number. - Bruce J. Nicholson, Nov 05 2017
Also numbers k with the property that in the symmetric representation of sigma(k) the smallest Dyck path has a central valley and the largest Dyck path has a central peak, n >= 1. Thus all hexagonal numbers > 0 have middle divisors. (Cf. A237593.) - Omar E. Pol, Aug 28 2018

The above conjecture is true. See A280851 for a proof.  - Hartmut F. W. Hoft, Feb 02 2022
The n-th hexagonal number equals the sum of the n consecutive integers with the same parity starting at n; for example, 1, 2+4, 3+5+7, 4+6+8+10, etc. In general, the n-th 2k-gonal number is the sum of the n consecutive integers with the same parity starting at (k-2)*n - (k-3). When k = 1 and 2, this result generates the positive integers, A000027, and the squares, A000290, respectively. - Charlie Marion, Mar 02 2022

Also the rows of both triangles A237270 and A237593 interleaved.
Also, irregular triangle read by rows in which T(n,k) is the area of the k-th region (from left to right in ascending diagonal) of the n-th symmetric set of regions (from the top to the bottom in descending diagonal) in the two-dimensional diagram of the perspective view of the infinite stepped pyramid described in A245092 (see the diagram in the Links section).
The diagram of the symmetric representation of sigma is also the top view of the pyramid, see Links section. For more information about the diagram see also A237593 and A237270.
The number of cubes at the n-th level is also A024916(n), the sum of all divisors of all positive integers <= n.
Note that this pyramid is also a quarter of the pyramid described in A244050. Both pyramids have infinitely many levels.
Odd-indexed rows are also the rows of the irregular triangle A237270.
Even-indexed rows are also the rows of the triangle A237593.
Lengths of the odd-indexed rows are in A237271.
Lengths of the even-indexed rows give 2*A003056.
Row sums of the odd-indexed rows gives A000203, the sum of divisors function.
Row sums of the even-indexed rows give the positive even numbers (see A005843).
Row sums give A245092.
From the front view of the stepped pyramid emerges a geometric pattern which is related to A001227, the number of odd divisors of the positive integers.
The connection with the odd divisors of the positive integers is as follows: A261697 --> A261699 --> A237048 --> A235791 --> A237591 --> A237593 --> A237270 --> this sequence.

The number of horizontal line segments in the n-th level in each side of the diagram equals A001227(n), the number of odd divisors of n.
The number of horizontal line segments in the left side of the diagram plus the number of the horizontal line segment in the right side equals A054844(n).
The total number of vertical line segments in the n-th level of the diagram equals A131507(n).
The diagram represents the first 16 levels of the pyramid.
The diagram of the isosceles triangle and the diagram of the top view of the pyramid shows the connection between the partitions into consecutive parts and the sum of divisors function (see also A286000 and A286001). - _Omar E. Pol_, Aug 28 2018

a(n) are the numbers satisfying m < sqrt(a(n)) < m + 0.5 for some integer m. - Floor van Lamoen, Jul 24 2001
a(A000217(n)) = A002378(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 12 2011]
Complement of A004201. Upper s(n)-Wythoff sequence (as defined in A184117), for s(n)=A002024(n)=floor[1/2+sqrt(2n)]. I.e., A004202(n) = A002024(n) + A004201(n), with A004201(1)=1 and for n>1, A004201(n) = least positive integer not yet in (A004201(1..n-1) union A004202(1..n-1)). - M. F. Hasler (following observations from R. J. Mathar), Feb 13 2011
Positions of record values in A256188 that are greater than 1: A014132(n) = A256188(a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 26 2015

			Interpretation as  Wythoff sequence (from _Clark Kimberling_):
s = (1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4...) = A002024 (n n's);
a = (1,3,4,7,8,9,13,14,...) = A004201 = least number > 0 not yet in a or b;
b = (2,5,6,10,11,12,17,18,...) = A004202 = a+s.
