Apart from the first term, numbers of the form (r^2+2*s^2)*n^2+2 = (r*n)^2+(s*n-1)^2+(s*n+1)^2: in this case is r=2, s=1. After 8, all terms are in A000408. - Bruno Berselli, Feb 07 2012
For n > 0, the sequence of last digits (i.e., a(n) mod 10) is (8, 6, 6, 8, 2) repeating forever. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 05 2016
Number of cubes of edge length 1 required to make a hollow cube of edge length n+1. - Peter M. Chema, Apr 01 2017
a(n) is the number of pieces on the outside of a (n+1) X (n+1) X (n+1) Rubik's cube. For n > 0: corners = 8, edges = 12*(n-1), center pieces = 6*(n-1)^2. - Demilade Runsewe, Jan 08 2025

			For n = 1 we get the 8 corners of the cube; for n = 2 each face has 9 points, for a total of 8 + 12 + 6 = 26.

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

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

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

Final digits of a(n), i.e., a(n) mod 10, are repeated periodically with period of length 5 {1,5,5,5,9}. There is a symmetry in this list since the sum of two numbers equally distant from the ends is equal to 10 = 1 + 9 = 5 + 5 = 2*5. Last two digits of a(n), i.e., a(n) mod 100, are repeated periodically with period of length 50. - Alexander Adamchuk, Aug 11 2006
a(n) = VarScheme(n,2) in the scheme displayed in A128195. - Peter Luschny, Feb 26 2007
If Y is a 3-subset of a 2n-set X then, for n >= 2, a(n-2) is the number of 4-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan Janjic, Nov 18 2007
The numbers are the constant number found in magic squares of order n, where n is an odd number, see the comment in A006003. A Magic Square of side 1 is 1; 3 is 15; 5 is 65 and so on. - David Quentin Dauthier, Nov 07 2008

Construct an array M with M(0,n) = 2*n^2 + 4*n + 1 = A056220(n+1), M(n,0) = 2*n^2 + 1 = A058331(n) and M(n,n) = 2*n*(n+1) + 1 = A001844(n). Row(n) begins with all the increasing odd numbers from A058331(n) to A001844(n) and column(n) begins with all the decreasing odd numbers from A056220(n+1) to A001844(n). The sum of the terms in row(n) plus those in column(n) minus M(n,n) equals a(n+1). The first five rows of array M are [1, 7, 17, 31, 49, ...]; [3, 5, 15, 29, 47, ...]; [9, 11, 13, 27, 45, ...]; [19, 21, 23, 25, 43, ...]; [33, 35, 37, 39, 41, ...]. - J. M.
