8*a(n)^2 + 1 = 8*A001110(n) + 1 = A055792(n+1) is a perfect square. - Gregory V. Richardson, Oct 05 2002
For n >= 2, A001108(n) gives exactly the positive integers m such that 1,2,...,m has a perfect median. The sequence of associated perfect medians is the present sequence. Let a_1,...,a_m be an (ordered) sequence of real numbers, then a term a_k is a perfect median if Sum_{j=1..k-1} a_j = Sum_{j=k+1..m} a_j. See Puzzle 1 in MSRI Emissary, Fall 2005. - Asher Auel, Jan 12 2006
(a(n), b(n)) where b(n) = A082291(n) are the integer solutions of the equation 2*binomial(b,a) = binomial(b+2,a). - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de); comment revised by Michael Somos, Apr 07 2003
This sequence gives the values of y in solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2 - 8y^2 = 1. It also gives the values of the product xy where (x,y) satisfies x^2 - 2y^2 = +-1, i.e., a(n) = A001333(n)*A000129(n). a(n) also gives the inradius r of primitive Pythagorean triangles having legs whose lengths are consecutive integers, with corresponding semiperimeter s = a(n+1) = {A001652(n) + A046090(n) + A001653(n)}/2 and area rs = A029549(n) = 6*A029546(n). - Lekraj Beedassy, Apr 23 2003 [edited by Jon E. Schoenfield, May 04 2014]

Number of D steps on the line y=x in all Delannoy paths of length n (a Delannoy path of length n is a path from (0,0) to (n,n), consisting of steps E=(1,0), N=(0,1) and D=(1,1)). Example: a(2)=6 because in the 13 (=A001850(2)) Delannoy paths of length 2, namely (DD), (D)NE, (D)EN, NE(D), NENE, NEEN, NDE, NNEE, EN(D), ENNE, ENEN, EDN and EENN, we have altogether six D steps on the line y=x (shown between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 07 2005
Define a T-circle to be a first-quadrant circle with integral radius that is tangent to the x- and y-axes. Such a circle has coordinates equal to its radius. Let C(0) be the T-circle with radius 1. Then for n > 0, define C(n) to be the smallest T-circle that does not intersect C(n-1). C(n) has radius a(n+1). Cf. A001653. - Charlie Marion, Sep 14 2005
Numbers such that there is an m with t(n+m)=2t(m), where t(n) are the triangular numbers A000217. For instance, t(20)=2*t(14)=210, so 6 is in the sequence. - Floor van Lamoen, Oct 13 2005
One half the bisection of the Pell numbers (A000129). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jan 08 2006
Pell trapezoids: for n > 0, a(n) = (A000129(n-1)+A000129(n+1))*A000129(n)/2; see also A084158. - Charlie Marion, Apr 01 2006
Tested for 2 < p < 27: If and only if 2^p - 1 (the Mersenne number M(p)) is prime then M(p) divides a(2^(p-1)). - Kenneth J Ramsey, May 16 2006
If 2^p - 1 is prime then M(p) divides a(2^(p-1)-1). - Kenneth J Ramsey, Jun 08 2006; comment corrected by Robert Israel, Mar 18 2007
If 8*n+5 and 8*n+7 are twin primes then their product divides a(4*n+3). - Kenneth J Ramsey, Jun 08 2006
If p is an odd prime, then if p == 1 or 7 (mod 8), then a((p-1)/2) == 0 (mod p) and a((p+1)/2) == 1 (mod p); if p == 3 or 5 (mod 8), then a((p-1)/2) == 1 (mod p) and a((p+1)/2) == 0 (mod p). Kenneth J Ramsey's comment about twin primes follows from this. - Robert Israel, Mar 18 2007
a(n)*(a(n+b) - a(b-2)) = (a(n+1)+1)*(a(n+b-1) - a(b-1)). This identity also applies to any series a(0) = 0 a(1) = 1 a(n) = b*a(n-1) - a(n-2). - Kenneth J Ramsey, Oct 17 2007
For n < 0, let a(n) = -a(-n). Then (a(n+j) + a(k+j)) * (a(n+b+k+j) - a(b-j-2)) = (a(n+j+1) + a(k+j+1)) * (a(n+b+k+j-1) - a(b-j-1)). - Charlie Marion, Mar 04 2011

In general, if b(0)=1, b(1)=k and for n > 1, b(n) = 6*b(n-1) - b(n-2), then
  for n > 0, b(n) = a(n)*k-a(n-1); e.g.,
  for k=2, when b(n) = A038725(n), 2 = 1*2 - 0, 11 = 6*2 - 1,  64 = 35*2 - 6, 373 = 204*2 - 35;
  for k=3, when b(n) = A001541(n), 3 = 1*3 - 0, 17 = 6*3 - 1;  99 = 35*3 - 6; 577 = 204*3 - 35;
  for k=4, when b(n) = A038723(n), 4 = 1*4 - 0, 23 = 6*4 - 1; 134 = 35*4 - 6; 781 = 204*4 - 35;
  for k=5, when b(n) = A001653(n), 5 = 1*5 - 0, 29 = 6*5 - 1; 169 = 35*5 - 6; 985 = 204*5 - 35.

See a Wolfdieter Lang comment on A001653 on a sequence of (u,v) values for Pythagorean triples (x,y,z) with x=|u^2-v^2|, y=2*u*v and z=u^2+v^2, with u odd and v even, generated from (u(0)=1,v(0)=2), the triple (3,4,5), by a substitution rule given there. The present a(n) appears there as b(n). The corresponding generated triangles have catheti differing by one length unit. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 06 2012
a(n)*a(n+2k) + a(k)^2 and a(n)*a(n+2k+1) + a(k)*a(k+1) are triangular numbers. Generalizes description of sequence. - Charlie Marion, Dec 03 2012
a(n)*a(n+2k) + a(k)^2 is the triangular square A001110(n+k). a(n)*a(n+2k+1) + a(k)*a(k+1) is the triangular oblong A029549(n+k). - Charlie Marion, Dec 05 2012
From Richard R. Forberg, Aug 30 2013: (Start)
The squares of a(n) are the result of applying triangular arithmetic to the squares, using A001333 as the "guide" on what integers to square, as follows:
a(2n)^2 = A001333(2n)^2 * (A001333(2n)^2 - 1)/2;
a(2n+1)^2 = A001333(2n+1)^2 * (A001333(2n+1)^2 + 1)/2. (End)
For n >= 1, a(n) equals the number of 01-avoiding words of length n-1 on alphabet {0,1,...,5}. - Milan Janjic, Jan 25 2015
Panda and Rout call these "balancing numbers" and note that the period of the sequence modulo a prime p is the same as that modulo p^2 when p = 13, 31, 1546463. But these are precisely the p in A238736 such that p^2 divides A000129(p - (2/p)), where (2/p) is a Jacobi symbol. In light of the above observation by Franklin T. Adams-Watters that the present sequence is one half the bisection of the Pell numbers, i.e., a(n) = A000129(2*n)/2, it follows immediately that modulo a fixed prime p, or any power thereof, the period of a(n) is half that of A000129(n). - John Blythe Dobson, Mar 06 2015
The triangular number = square number identity Tri((T(n, 3) - 1)/2) = S(n-1, 6)^2 with Tri, T, and S given in A000217, A053120 and A049310, is the special case k = 1 of the k-family of identities Tri((T(n, 2*k+1) - 1)/2) = Tri(k)*S(n-1, 2*(2*k+1))^2, k >= 0, n >= 0, with S(-1, x) = 0. For k=2 see A108741(n) for S(n-1, 10)^2. This identity boils down to the identities S(n-1, 2*x)^2 = (T(2*n, x) - 1)/(2*(x^2-1)) and  2*T(n, x)^2 - 1 = T(2*n, x) with x = 2*k+1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 01 2016
a(2)=6 is perfect. For n=2*k, k > 0, k not equal to 1, a(n) is a multiple of a(2) and since every multiple (beyond 1) of a perfect number is abundant, then a(n) is abundant. sigma(a(4)) = 504 > 408 = 2*a(4). For n=2*k+1, k > 0, a(n) mod 10 = A000012(n), so a(n) is odd. If a(n) is a prime number, it is deficient; otherwise a(n) has one or two distinct prime factors and is therefore deficient again. So for n=2k+1, k > 0, a(n) is deficient. sigma(a(5)) = 1260 < 2378 = 2*a(5). - Muniru A Asiru, Apr 14 2016
Behera & Panda call these the balancing numbers, and A001541 are the balancers. - Michel Marcus, Nov 07 2017
In general, a second-order linear recurrence with constant coefficients having a signature of (c,d) will be duplicated by a third-order recurrence having a signature of (x,c^2-c*x+d,-d*x+c*d). The formulas of Olivares and Bouhamida in the formula section which have signatures of (7,-7,1) and (5,5,-1), respectively, are specific instances of this general rule for x = 7 and x = 5. - Gary Detlefs, Jan 29 2021
Note that 6 is the largest triangular number in the sequence, because it is proved that 8 and 9 are the largest perfect powers which are consecutive (Catalan's conjecture). 0 and 1 are also in the sequence because they are also perfect powers and 0*1/2 = 0^2 and 8*9/2 = (2*3)^2. - Metin Sariyar, Jul 15 2021

6 is in the sequence since 6^2 = 36 is a triangular number: 36 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8. - _Michael B. Porter_, Jul 02 2016

Also number of ways to legally insert two pairs of parentheses into a string of m := n-1 letters. (There are initially 2C(m+4,4) (A034827) ways to insert the parentheses, but we must subtract 2(m+1) for illegal clumps of 4 parentheses, 2m(m+1) for clumps of 3 parentheses, C(m+1,2) for 2 clumps of 2 parentheses and (m-1)C(m+1,2) for 1 clump of 2 parentheses, giving m(m+1)^2(m+2)/12 = n^2*(n^2-1)/12.)

a(n) is the number of squares of side length at least 1 having vertices at the points of an n X n unit grid of points (the vertices of an n-1 X n-1 chessboard). [For a proof, see Comments in A051602. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 29 2021] For example, on the 3 X 3 grid (the vertices of a 2 X 2 chessboard) there are four 1 X 1 squares, one (skew) sqrt(2) X sqrt(2) square, and one 3 X 3 square, so a(3)=6. On the 4 X 4 grid (the vertices of a 3 X 3 chessboard) there are 9 1 X 1 squares, 4 2 X 2 squares, 1 3 X 3 square, 4 sqrt(2) X sqrt(2) squares, and 2 sqrt(5) X sqrt(5) squares, so a(4) = 20.
