From Bernard Schott, Aug 31 2021 and Sep 16 2021: (Start)
Apart from 0, integers such that the number of even divisors (A183063) is odd.
Proof: every n = 2^q * (2k+1), q, k >= 0, then 2*n^2 = 2^(2q+1) * (2k+1)^2; now, gcd(2, 2k+1) = 1, tau(2^(2q+1)) = 2q+2 and tau((2k+1)^2) = 2u+1 because (2k+1)^2 is square, so, tau(2*n^2) = (2q+2) * (2u+1).
The 2q+2 divisors of 2^(2q+1) are {1, 2, 2^2, 2^3, ..., 2^(2q+1)}, so 2^(2q+1) has 2q+1 even divisors {2^1, 2^2, 2^3, ..., 2^(2q+1)}.
Conclusion: these 2q+1 even divisors create with the 2u+1 odd divisors of (2k+1)^2 exactly (2q+1)*(2u+1) even divisors of 2*n^2, and (2q+1)*(2u+1) is odd. (End)

			a(3) = 18; since 2(3) = 6 has 3 partitions with exactly two parts: (5,1), (4,2), (3,3).  Adding all the parts, we get: 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 18. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Jun 01 2013

Alternating sum of the first n odd squares in decreasing order, n >= 1. Also number of "ON" cells at n-th stage in simple 2-dimensional cellular automaton. The rules are: on the infinite square grid, start with all cells OFF, so a(0) = 0. Turn a single cell to the ON state, so a(1) = 1. At each subsequent step, the neighbor cells of each cell of the old generation are turned ON, and the cells of the old generation are turned OFF. Here "neighbor" refers to the eight adjacent cells of each ON cell. See example. - Omar E. Pol, Feb 16 2014

a(n)*n+1 = (4n+1)^2 and a(n)*(n+1)+1 = (4n+3)^2 are both perfect squares. - Carmine Suriano, Jun 01 2014
For all positive integers n, there are infinitely many positive integers k such that k*n + 1 and k*(n+1) + 1 are both perfect squares. Except for 8, all the numbers of this sequence are the smallest integers k which are solutions for getting two perfect squares. Example: a(1) = 24 and 24 * 1 + 1 = 25 = 5^2, then 24 * (1+1) + 1 = 49 = 7^2. [Reference AMM] - Bernard Schott, Sep 24 2017
