cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A085250 4 times hexagonal numbers: a(n) = 4*n*(2*n-1).

Formula

a(n) = A067239(n)/2, for n>0.
Sum_{n>0} 1/a(n) = log(2)/2.
a(n) = A000384(n)*4. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 11 2008
a(n) = 16*n + a(n-1) - 12 (with a(0)=0). - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 08 2010
G.f.: 4*x*(1 + 3*x)/(1 - 3*x + 3*x^2 - x^3). - Colin Barker, Jan 04 2012
E.g.f.: 4*x*(2*x + 1)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 14 2017
a(n) = A046092(2n-1), for n > 0. - Bruce J. Nicholson, Sep 04 2017
