Formula

From Daniel Forgues, May 03 2011: (Start)

If 0 <= n <= 3 then a(n) = 2 T_n, otherwise a(n) = 2 (T_n - t_{n-1}), where T_n is the n-th tetrahedral number, t_n the n-th triangular number.

G.f.: (2*x*(1 - 6*x^3 + 14*x^4 - 11*x^5 + 3*x^6))/(1 - x)^4, n >= 0.

(End)

a(n) = n*(n^2+5)/3 + (4*n-6)*A171386(n). - Omar E. Pol, Aug 14 2013
