The Ca3, Ca4, Gi3 and Gi4 triangle sums (see A180662 for their definitions) of the Connell-Pol triangle A159797 are linear sums of shifted versions of the duplicated tetrahedral numbers, e.g., Gi3(n) = 17*a(n) + 19*a(n-1) and Gi4(n) = 5*a(n) + a(n-1).
Furthermore the Kn3, Kn4, Ca3, Ca4, Gi3 and Gi4 triangle sums of the Connell sequence A001614 as a triangle are also linear sums of shifted versions of the sequence given above. (End)

We consider optimal proper vertex colorings of a graph G. Assume that the labeling, i.e., coloring starts with 1. By optimality we mean that the maximum label used is the minimum of the maximum integer label used across all possible labelings of G. Let S=Sum of the differences |l(v) - l(u)|, the sum being over all edges uv of G and l(w) is the label associated with a vertex w of G. We say G admits unique labeling if all possible labelings of G is S-invariant and yields the same integer partition of S. With an offset this sequence gives the S-values for the complete graph on n vertices, n = 2, 3, ... . - K.V.Iyer, Jul 08 2011

Aside from the zero, this sequence is the fourth diagonal of the Pascal matrix A007318 and the only nonvanishing diagonal (fourth) of the matrix representation IM = (A132440)^3/3! of the differential operator D^3/3!, when acting on the row vector of coefficients of an o.g.f., or power series.
M = e^{IM} is the lower triangular matrix of coefficients of the Appell polynomial sequence p_n(x) = e^{D^3/3!} x^n = e^{b. D} x^n = (b. + x)^n = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) b_n x^{n-k}, where the (b.)^n = b_n have the e.g.f. e^{b.t} = e^{t^3/3!}, which is that for A025035 aerated with double zeros, the first column of M.

The third Euler row (1,4,1) has an additional connection with the tetrahedral numbers besides the n^3 identity stated above: a^2(n) + 4*a^2(n+1) + a^2(n+2) = a(n^2+4n+4), which can be shown with algebra. E.g., a^2(2) + 4*a^2(3) + a^2(4) = 16 + 400 + 400 = a(16). Although an analogous thing happens with the (1,1) row of Euler's triangle and triangular numbers C(n+1,2) = A000217(n) = T(n), namely both T(n-1) + T(n) = n^2 and T^2(n-1) + T^2(n) = T(n^2) are true, only one (the usual identity) still holds for the Euler row (1,11,11,1) and the C(n,4) numbers in A000332. That is, the dot product of (1,11,11,1) with the squares of 4 consecutive terms of A000332 is not generally a term of A000332. - Richard Peterson, Aug 21 2022

The Kn21, Kn22, Kn23, Fi2 and Ze2 triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, of the Connell-Pol triangle A159797 are linear sums of shifted versions of this sequence, e.g., Kn22(n) = a(n+1) + a(n) + 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) and Fi2(n) = a(n) + 4*a(n-1) + a(n-2). - Johannes W. Meijer, May 20 2011

a(n) is the largest number that is not the sum of distinct numbers of form kn+1, k >= 0. - David W. Wilson, Dec 11 1999
Sum of the nontriangular numbers between successive triangular numbers. 1, (2), 3, (4, 5), 6, (7, 8, 9), 10, (11, 12, 13, 14), 15, ... Sum of the terms in brackets. Or sum of n consecutive integers beginning with T(n) + 1, where T(n) = n(n+1)/2. - Amarnath Murthy, Aug 27 2005
Apparently this is also the splittance (as defined by Hammer & Simeone, 1977) of the Kneser graphs of the form K(n+3,2). - Felix Goldberg (felixg(AT)tx.technion.ac.il), Jul 13 2009
Row sums of triangle A159797. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 24 2009
The same results occur when one plots the points (1,3), (3,6), (6,10), (10,15), and so on, for all the triangular numbers and finds the area beneath. Take three consecutive triangular numbers and label them a, b, c; the area created is simply (b-a)*(b+c)/2. Thus for 6,10,15 the area beneath the line defined by the points (6,10) and (10,15) is (10-6)*(10+15)/2 = 50. - J. M. Bergot, Jun 28 2011
Let P = ab where a and b are nonequal prime numbers > 1. Let Q be the product of all divisors of P^n. Q can be expressed as P^k, where k = n*(n+1)^2/2. This follows from the fact that all divisors are of the form a^i*b^j, for i,j from 0 to n. An example is given below. In the more general case, where P is the product of m nonequal prime numbers, k = n*(n+1)^m/2. When m=3, the sequence is the same as A092364. - James A. Raymond & Douglas Raymond, Dec 04 2011
For n > 0: sum of n-th row in A014132, seen as a triangle read by rows. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 12 2012

a(n) is the sum of x (or y) coordinates for an n X n square lattice in the upper right quadrant of Z^2 whose corner points are (0, 0), (0, n), (n, 0), and (n, n). - Joseph Wheat, Feb 03 2018
a(n) is the number of permutations of [n+2] that contain exactly 2 elements which are not left-to-right minimal. E.g., the 9 permutations comprising a(2) are 2134, 2143, 3124, 3142, 4123, 4132, 2314, 2413, 3412. - Andy Niedermaier, May 07 2022

			Let P^n=6^2. The product of the divisors of 36 = 10077796 = 6^9, i.e., for n=2, k=9. - _James A. Raymond_ & Douglas Raymond, Dec 04 2011

For n >= i, i = 6,7, a(n - i) is the number of incongruent two-color bracelets of n beads, i of which are black (cf. A005513, A032280), having a diameter of symmetry. The latter means the following: if we imagine (0,1)-beads as points (with the corresponding labels) dividing a circumference of a bracelet into n identical parts, then a diameter of symmetry is a diameter (connecting two beads or not) such that a 180-degree turn of one of two sets of points around it (obtained by splitting the circumference by this diameter) leads to the coincidence of the two sets (including their labels). - Vladimir Shevelev, May 03 2011
