4*a(n) + 1 are the odd squares A016754(n).
The word "pronic" (used by Dickson) is incorrect. - Michael Somos
According to the 2nd edition of Webster, the correct word is "promic". - R. K. Guy
a(n) is the number of minimal vectors in the root lattice A_n (see Conway and Sloane, p. 109).
Let M_n denote the n X n matrix M_n(i, j) = (i + j); then the characteristic polynomial of M_n is x^(n-2) * (x^2 - a(n)*x - A002415(n)). - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 09 2002
The greatest LCM of all pairs (j, k) for j < k <= n for n > 1. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 19 2004
First differences are a(n+1) - a(n) = 2*n + 2 = 2, 4, 6, ... (while first differences of the squares are (n+1)^2 - n^2 = 2*n + 1 = 1, 3, 5, ...). - Alexandre Wajnberg, Dec 29 2005
25 appended to these numbers corresponds to squares of numbers ending in 5 (i.e., to squares of A017329). - Lekraj Beedassy, Mar 24 2006
A rapid (mental) multiplication/factorization technique -- a generalization of Lekraj Beedassy's comment: For all bases b >= 2 and positive integers n, c, d, k with c + d = b^k, we have (n*b^k + c)*(n*b^k + d) = a(n)*b^(2*k) + c*d. Thus the last 2*k base-b digits of the product are exactly those of c*d -- including leading 0(s) as necessary -- with the preceding base-b digit(s) the same as a(n)'s. Examples: In decimal, 113*117 = 13221 (as n = 11, b = 10 = 3 + 7, k = 1, 3*7 = 21, and a(11) = 132); in octal, 61*67 = 5207 (52 is a(6) in octal). In particular, for even b = 2*m (m > 0) and c = d = m, such a product is a square of this type. Decimal factoring: 5609 is immediately seen to be 71*79. Likewise, 120099 = 301*399 (k = 2 here) and 99990000001996 = 9999002*9999998 (k = 3). - Rick L. Shepherd, Jul 24 2021
Number of circular binary words of length n + 1 having exactly one occurrence of 01. Example: a(2) = 6 because we have 001, 010, 011, 100, 101 and 110. Column 1 of A119462. - Emeric Deutsch, May 21 2006
The sequence of iterated square roots sqrt(N + sqrt(N + ...)) has for N = 1, 2, ... the limit (1 + sqrt(1 + 4*N))/2. For N = a(n) this limit is n + 1, n = 1, 2, .... For all other numbers N, N >= 1, this limit is not a natural number. Examples: n = 1, a(1) = 2: sqrt(2 + sqrt(2 + ...)) = 1 + 1 = 2; n = 2, a(2) = 6: sqrt(6 + sqrt(6 + ...)) = 1 + 2 = 3. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 05 2006
Nonsquare integers m divisible by ceiling(sqrt(m)), except for m = 0. - Max Alekseyev, Nov 27 2006

Numbers m >= 0 such that ceiling(2*sqrt(m+1)) - 1 = 1 + floor(2*sqrt(m)). - Hieronymus Fischer, Aug 06 2007
Numbers m >= 0 such that fract(sqrt(m+1)) > 1/2 and fract(sqrt(m)) < 1/2 where fract(x) is the fractional part (fract(x) = x - floor(x), x >= 0). - Hieronymus Fischer, Aug 06 2007
X values of solutions to the equation 4*X^3 + X^2 = Y^2. To find Y values: b(n) = n(n+1)(2n+1). - Mohamed Bouhamida, Nov 06 2007
Nonvanishing diagonal of A132792, the infinitesimal Lah matrix, so "generalized factorials" composed of a(n) are given by the elements of the Lah matrix, unsigned A111596, e.g., a(1)*a(2)*a(3) / 3! = -A111596(4,1) = 24. - Tom Copeland, Nov 20 2007
If Y is a 2-subset of an n-set X then, for n >= 2, a(n-2) is the number of 2-subsets and 3-subsets of X having exactly one element in common with Y. - Milan Janjic, Dec 28 2007
a(n) coincides with the vertex of a parabola of even width in the Redheffer matrix, directed toward zero. An integer p is prime if and only if for all integer k, the parabola y = kx - x^2 has no integer solution with 1 < x < k when y = p; a(n) corresponds to odd k. - Reikku Kulon, Nov 30 2008

See also A162990. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 21 2009
Generalized factorials, [a.(n!)] = a(n)*a(n-1)*...*a(0) = A010790(n), with a(0) = 1 are related to A001263. - Tom Copeland, Sep 21 2011
For n > 1, a(n) is the number of functions f:{1, 2} -> {1, ..., n + 2} where f(1) > 1 and f(2) > 2. Note that there are n + 1 possible values for f(1) and n possible values for f(2). For example, a(3) = 12 since there are 12 functions f from {1, 2} to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} with f(1) > 1 and f(2) > 2. - Dennis P. Walsh, Dec 24 2011

From Felix P. Muga II, Mar 18 2014: (Start)
a(m), for m >= 1, are the only positive integer values t for which the Binet-de Moivre formula for the recurrence b(n) = b(n-1) + t*b(n-2) with b(0) = 0 and b(1) = 1 has a root of a square. PROOF (as suggested by Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 26 2014): The sqrt(1 + 4t) appearing in the zeros r1 and r2 of the characteristic equation is (a positive) integer for positive integer t precisely if 4t + 1 = (2m + 1)^2, that is t = a(m), m >= 1. Thus, the characteristic roots are integers: r1 = m + 1 and r2 = -m.
Let m > 1 be an integer. If b(n) = b(n-1) + a(m)*b(n-2), n >= 2, b(0) = 0, b(1) = 1, then lim_{n->oo} b(n+1)/b(n) = m + 1. (End)

a(n) is the maximum number of queens of one color that can coexist without attacking one queen of the opponent's color on an (n+2) X (n+2) chessboard. The lone queen can be placed in any position on the perimeter of the board. - Bob Selcoe, Feb 07 2015
With a(0) = 1, a(n-1) is the smallest positive number not in the sequence such that Sum_{i = 1..n} 1/a(i-1) has a denominator equal to n. - Derek Orr, Jun 17 2015
The positive members of this sequence are a proper subsequence of the so-called 1-happy couple products A007969. See the W. Lang link there, eq. (4), with Y_0 = 1, with a table at the end. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 19 2015
For n > 0, a(n) is the reciprocal of the area bounded above by y = x^(n-1) and below by y = x^n for x in the interval [0, 1]. Summing all such areas visually demonstrates the formula below giving Sum_{n >= 1} 1/a(n) = 1. - Rick L. Shepherd, Oct 26 2015
It appears that, except for a(0) = 0, this is the set of positive integers n such that x*floor(x) = n has no solution. (For example, to get 3, take x = -3/2.) - Melvin Peralta, Apr 14 2016
If two independent real random variables, x and y, are distributed according to the same exponential distribution: pdf(x) = lambda * exp(-lambda * x), lambda > 0, then the probability that n - 1 <= x/y < n is given by 1/a(n). - Andres Cicuttin, Dec 03 2016
a(n) is equal to the sum of all possible differences between n different pairs of consecutive odd numbers (see example). - Miquel Cerda, Dec 04 2016
a(n+1) is the dimension of the space of vector fields in the plane with polynomial coefficients up to order n. - Martin Licht, Dec 04 2016

a(n+1) is the order of rowmotion on a poset obtained by adjoining a unique minimal (or maximal) element to a disjoint union of at least two chains of n elements. - Nick Mayers, Jun 01 2018
From Juhani Heino, Feb 05 2019: (Start)
For n > 0, 1/a(n) = n/(n+1) - (n-1)/n.
For example, 1/6 = 2/3 - 1/2; 1/12 = 3/4 - 2/3.
Corollary of this:
Take 1/2 pill.
Next day, take 1/6 pill. 1/2 + 1/6 = 2/3, so your daily average is 1/3.
Next day, take 1/12 pill. 2/3 + 1/12 = 3/4, so your daily average is 1/4.
And so on. (End)
From Bernard Schott, May 22 2020: (Start)
For an oblong number m >= 6 there exists a Euclidean division m = d*q + r with q < r < d which are in geometric progression, in this order, with a common integer ratio b. For b >= 2 and q >= 1, the Euclidean division is m = qb*(qb+1) = qb^2 * q + qb where (q, qb, qb^2) are in geometric progression.
Some examples with distinct ratios and quotients:
   6 | 4            30 | 25          42 | 18
     -----             -----            -----
   2 | 1      ,      5 |  1   ,       6 |  2    ,
and also:
  42 | 12          420 | 100
     -----             -----
   6 |  3     ,     20 |   4  .
Some oblong numbers also satisfy a Euclidean division m = d*q + r with q < r < d that are in geometric progression in this order but with a common noninteger ratio b > 1 (see A335064). (End)
For n >= 1, the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(a(n)) is [n; {2, 2n}]. For n=1, this collapses to [1; {2}]. - Magus K. Chu, Sep 09 2022
a(n-2) is the maximum irregularity over all trees with n vertices. The extremal graphs are stars. (The irregularity of a graph is the sum of the differences between the degrees over all edges of the graph.) - Allan Bickle, May 29 2023
For n > 0, number of diagonals in a regular 2*(n+1)-gon that are not parallel to any edge (cf. A367204). - Paolo Xausa, Mar 30 2024
a(n-1) is the maximum Zagreb index over all trees with n vertices. The extremal graphs are stars. (The Zagreb index of a graph is the sum of the squares of the degrees over all vertices of the graph.) - Allan Bickle, Apr 11 2024
For n >= 1, a(n) is the determinant of the distance matrix of a cycle graph on 2*n + 1 vertices (if the length of the cycle is even such a determinant is zero). - Miquel A. Fiol, Aug 20 2024
For n > 1, the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(16*a(n)) is [2n+1; {1, 2n-1, 1, 8n+2}]. - Magus K. Chu, Nov 20 2024
For n>=2, a(n) is the number of faces on a n+1-zone rhombic zonohedron. Each pair of a collection of great circles on a sphere intersects at two points, so there are 2*binomial(n+1,2) intersections. The dual of the implied polyhedron is a rhombic zonohedron, its faces corresponding to the intersections. - Shel Kaphan, Aug 12 2025

			a(3) = 12, since 2(3)+2 = 8 has 4 partitions with exactly two parts: (7,1), (6,2), (5,3), (4,4). Taking the positive differences of the parts in each partition and adding, we get: 6 + 4 + 2 + 0 = 12. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Jun 02 2013
G.f. = 2*x + 6*x^2 + 12*x^3 + 20*x^4 + 30*x^5 + 42*x^6 + 56*x^7 + ... - _Michael Somos_, May 22 2014
From _Miquel Cerda_, Dec 04 2016: (Start)
a(1) = 2, since 45-43 = 2;
a(2) = 6, since 47-45 = 2 and 47-43 = 4, then 2+4 = 6;
a(3) = 12, since 49-47 = 2, 49-45 = 4, and 49-43 = 6, then 2+4+6 = 12. (End)

If the sequence ends with (1,1,0) Abel wins; if it ends with (1,0,0) Kain wins.
Abel(n) = A002620(n-1) = (2*n*(n - 2) + 1 - (-1)^n)/8.
Kain(n) = A004526(n-1) = floor((n - 1)/2).
Win probability for Abel = sum(Abel(n)/2^n) = 2/3.
Win probability for Kain = sum(Kain(n)/2^n) = 1/3.
Mean length of the game = sum(n*a(n)/2^n) = 16/3.
Essentially the same as A035106. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 27 2011
The sequence 2*a(n) is denoted as chi(n) by McKee (1994) and is the degree of the division polynomial f_n as a polynomial in x. He notes that "If x is given weight 1, a is given weight 2, and b is given weight 3, then all the terms in f_n(a, b, x) have weight chi(n)". - Michael Somos, Jan 09 2015
In Duistermaat (2010), at the end of section 11.2 The Elliptic Billiard, on page 492 the number of k-periodic fibers counted with multiplicities of the QRT root is given by equation (11.2.8) as "1/4 k^2 + 3{k/2}(1 - {k/2}) - 1 = n^2 - 1 when k = 2n, n^2 + n when k = 2n+1, for every integer k." - Michael Somos, Mar 14 2023

			For n = 6 the a(6) = 8 solutions are (0,0,0,1,1,0), (0,1,0,1,1,0),(0,0,1,1,1,0), (1,0,1,1,1,0), (0,1,1,1,1,0),(1,1,1,1,1,0) for Abel and
  (0,0,0,1,0,0), (0,1,0,1,0,0) for Kain.

Conjectures: a(2^n)=a(2^(n+1)+1)=A033638(n); a(2^n-1)=a(3*2^n-1)=1.

The Gi1 and Gi2 triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, of Sierpinski's triangle A047999 equal this sequence. The Gi1 and Gi2 sums can also be interpreted as (i + 4*j = n) and (4*i + j = n) sums, see the Northshield reference. Some A112970(2^n-p) sequences, 0<=p<=32, lead to known sequences, see the crossrefs. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 05 2011
