Programs

Python

def t(n):
    s=0
    for a in range(n+1):
        for b in range(n+1):
            for c in range(n+1):
                for d in range(n+1):
                    if (a*d-b*c)==n*(a*d+b*c):
                        s+=1
    return s
for i in range(41):
    print(str(i)+" "+str(t(i)))

Formula

a(n+1) = (((n-2)*a(n))/(n-1)) + ((12*(n)^2-12*(n)+1)/(n-1)) for n>=1.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 01 2017: (Start)

a(n) = (1 + 2*n)^2 = A273789(n) = A273743(n) for n>1.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>4.

G.f.: (1 + 9*x - 8*x^2 + 9*x^3 - 3*x^4) / (1 - x)^3.
