Satisfies a recurrence of S_r type for r=36: 0, 1, 36 and a(n-1)*a(n+1)=(a(n)-1)^2. First observed by Colin Dickson in alt.math.recreational, Mar 07 2004. - Rainer Rosenthal, Mar 14 2004
For every n, a(n) is the first of three triangular numbers in geometric progression. The third number in the progression is a(n+1). The middle triangular number is sqrt(a(n)*a(n+1)). Chen and Fang prove that four distinct triangular numbers are never in geometric progression. - T. D. Noe, Apr 30 2007
The sum of any two terms is never equal to a Fermat number. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Feb 14 2012
Conjecture: No a(2^k), where k is a nonnegative integer, can be expressed as a sum of a positive square number and a positive triangular number. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Sep 19 2012
For n=2k+1, A010888(a(n))=1 and for n=2k, k > 0, A010888(a(n))=9. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Oct 12 2013
For n > 0, these are the triangular numbers which are the sum of two consecutive triangular numbers, for instance 36 = 15 + 21 and 1225 = 595 + 630. - Michel Marcus, Feb 18 2014
The sequence is the case P1 = 36, P2 = 68, Q = 1 of the 3-parameter family of 4th order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - Peter Bala, Apr 03 2014
For n=2k, k > 0, a(n) is divisible by 12 and is therefore abundant. I conjecture that for n=2k+1 a(n) is deficient [true for k up to 43 incl.]. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Sep 30 2014
The conjecture is true for all k > 0 because: For n=2k+1, k > 0, 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. - Muniru A Asiru, Apr 13 2016
Numbers k for which A139275(k) is a perfect square. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 16 2018

			a(2) = ((17 + 12*sqrt(2))^2 + (17 - 12*sqrt(2))^2 - 2)/32 = (289 + 24*sqrt(2) + 288 + 289 - 24*sqrt(2) + 288 - 2)/32 = (578 + 576 - 2)/32 = 1152/32 = 36 and 6^2 = 36 = 8*9/2 => a(2) is both the 6th square and the 8th triangular number.

Number of factorial divisors of n. - Amarnath Murthy, Oct 19 2002
The sequence may be constructed as follows. Step 1: start with 1, concatenate and add +1 to last term gives: 1,2. Step 2: 2 is the last term so concatenate twice those terms and add +1 to last term gives: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3 we get 6 terms. Step 3: 3 is the last term, concatenate 3 times those 6 terms and add +1 to last term gives: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, iterates. At k-th step we obtain (k+1)! terms. - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 11 2003
From Benoit Cloitre, Aug 17 2007, edited by M. F. Hasler, Jun 28 2016: (Start)
Another way to construct the sequence: start from an infinite series of 1's:
   1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ... Replace every second 1 by a 2 giving:
   1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, ... Replace every third 2 by a 3 giving:
   1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, ... Replace every fourth 3 by a 4 etc. (End)
This sequence is the fixed point, starting with 1, of the morphism m, where m(1) = 1, 2, and for k > 1, m(k) is the concatenation of m(k - 1), the sequence up to the first k, and k + 1. Thus m(2) = 1, 2, 1, 3; m(3) = 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4; m(4) = 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 5, etc. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jun 10 2009
All permutations of n elements can be listed as follows: Start with the (arbitrary) permutation P(0), and to obtain P(n + 1), reverse the first a(n) + 1 elements in P(n). The last permutation is the reversal of the first, so the path is a cycle in the underlying graph. See example and fxtbook link. - Joerg Arndt, Jul 16 2011
