Generate Pythagorean triangles with parameters a and b to get sides of lengths x = b^2-a^2, y = 2*a*b, and z = a^2 + b^2. In particular use a=n-1 and b=n for a triangle with sides (x1,y1,z1) and a=n and b=n+1 for another triangle with sides (x2,y2,z2). Then x1*x2 + y1*y2 + z1*z2 = 8*a(n). - J. M. Bergot, Jul 22 2013

From Klaus Purath, Mar 18 2019: (Start)
Let m be a(n) or a prime factor of a(n). Then, except for 1 and 5, there are, if m is a prime, exactly two squares y^2 such that the difference y^2 - m contains exactly one pair of factors {x,z} such that the following applies: x*z = y^2 - m, x + y = z with
x < y, where {x,y,z} are relatively prime numbers. {x,y,z} are the initial values of a sequence of the Fibonacci type. Thus each a(n) > 5, if it is a prime, and each prime factor p > 5 of an a(n) can be assigned to exactly two sequences of the Fibonacci type. a(0) = 1 belongs to the original Fibonacci sequence and a(1) = 5 to the Lucas sequence.
But also the reverse assignment applies. From any sequence (f(i)) of the Fibonacci type we get from its 3 initial values by f(i)^2 - f(i-1)*f(i+1) with f(i-1) < f(i) a term a(n) or a prime factor p of a(n). This relation is also valid for any i. In this case we get the absolute value |a(n)| or |p|. (End)
a(n-1) = 2*T(n) - 1, for n>=1, with T = A000217, is a proper subsequence of A089270, and the terms are 0,-1,+1 (mod 5). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 05 2019
a(n+1) is the number of wedged n-dimensional spheres in the homotopy of the neighborhood complex of Kneser graph KG_{2,n}. Here, KG_{2,n} is a graph whose vertex set is the collection of subsets of cardinality 2 of set {1,2,...,n+3,n+4} and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are disjoint. - Anurag Singh, Mar 22 2021

In the following the expression [n odd] is 1 if n is odd, 0 otherwise.
(+) W_n(0) = E_n are the Euler (or secant) numbers A122045.
(+) W_n(1) = T_n are the signed tangent numbers, see A009006.
(+) W_{n-1}(1) n / (4^n - 2^n) = B_n gives for n > 1 the Bernoulli number A027641/A027642.
(+) W_n(-1) 2^{-n}(n+1) = G_n the Genocchi number A036968.
(+) W_n(1/2) 2^{n} are the signed generalized Euler (Springer) number, see A001586.
(+) | W_n([n odd]) | the number of alternating permutations A000111.
(+) | W_n([n odd]) / n! | for 0<=n the Euler zeta number A099612/A099617 (see Wikipedia on Bernoulli number). - Peter Luschny, Dec 29 2008
The diagonals in the full triangle (with zero coefficients) of the polynomials have the general form E(k)*binomial(n+k,k) (k>=0 fixed, n=0,1,...) where E(n) are the Euler numbers in the enumeration A122045. For k=2 we find the triangular numbers A000217 and for k=4 A154286. - Peter Luschny, Jan 06 2009
From Peter Bala, Jun 10 2009: (Start)
The Swiss-Knife polynomials W_n(x) may be expressed in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials B(n,x) as
... W_n(x) = 4^(n+1)/(2*n+2)*[B(n+1,(x+3)/4) - B(n+1,(x+1)/4)].
The Swiss-Knife polynomials are, apart from a multiplying factor, examples of generalized Bernoulli polynomials.
Let X be the Dirichlet character modulus 4 defined by X(4*n+1) = 1, X(4*n+3) = -1 and X(2*n) = 0. The generalized Bernoulli polynomials B(X;n,x), n = 1,2,..., associated with the character X are defined by means of the generating function
... t*exp(x*t)*(exp(t)-exp(3*t))/(exp(4*t)-1) = sum {n = 1..inf} B(X;n,x)*t^n/n!.
The first few values are B(X;1,x) = -1/2, B(X;2,x) = -x, B(X,3,x) = -3/2*(x^2-1) and B(X;4,x) = -2*(x^3-3*x).
In general, W_n(x) = -2/(n+1)*B(X;n+1,x).
For the theory of generalized Bernoulli polynomials associated to a periodic arithmetical function see [Cohen, Section 9.4].
The generalized Bernoulli polynomials may be used to evaluate twisted sums of k-th powers. For the present case the result is
sum{n = 0..4*N-1} X(n)*n^k = 1^k - 3^k + 5^k - 7^k + ... - (4*N-1)^k
= [B(X;k+1,4*N) - B(X;k+1,0)]/(k+1) = [W_k(0) - W_k(4*N)]/2.
For the proof apply [Cohen, Corollary 9.4.17 with m = 4 and x = 0].
The generalized Bernoulli polynomials and the Swiss-Knife polynomials are also related to infinite sums of powers through their Fourier series - see the formula section below. For a table of the coefficients of generalized Bernoulli polynomials attached to a Dirichlet character modulus 8 see A151751.
(End)
The Swiss-Knife polynomials provide a general formula for alternating sums of powers similar to the formula which are provided by the Bernoulli polynomials for non-alternating sums of powers (see the Luschny link). Sequences covered by this formula include A001057, A062393, A062392, A011934, A144129, A077221, A137501, A046092. - Peter Luschny, Jul 12 2009
The greatest common divisor of the nonzero coefficients of the decapitated Swiss-Knife polynomials is exp(Lambda(n)), where Lambda(n) is the von Mangoldt function for odd primes, symbolically:
gcd(coeffs(SKP_{n}(x) - x^n)) = A155457(n) (n>1). - Peter Luschny, Dec 16 2009

In physics, a(n)/2^(M-1) is the trace of the spin operator |S_z|^M for a particle with spin S=n/2. For example, when S=3/2, the S_z eigenvalues are -3/2, -1/2, +1/2, +3/2 and therefore the sum of their 4th powers is 2*82/16 = a(3)/8 (analogously for other values of M).
