Comments

a(n) is equal to the freshwater zone below sea level for a water table of elevation n above sea level in a simplified freshwater-saltwater interface in a coastal water-table aquifer (cf. Barlow, 2003, p. 14, eq. (2) and p. 15, Fig. B-1 and B-2).

From Bruno Berselli, Sep 10 2018: (Start)

After 0, subsequence of A065607: 1/a(n)^2 + 1/(30*n)^2 = 1/(24*n)^2, with n > 0 and a(n) > 30*n.

Also, all positive terms belong to A049094: 2^(40*n)-1 = 1024^(4*n)-1 and (25*41-1)^(4*n)-1 is divisible by 25. (End)

Formula

O.g.f.: 40*x/(1 - x)^2.

E.g.f.: 40*x*exp(x). - Bruno Berselli, Sep 10 2018

a(n) = 2*a(n - 1) - a(n - 2) for n > 1. - Stefano Spezia, Sep 07 2018

a(n) = A008586(A008592(n)) = 4*A008592(n).

a(n) = A010692(n)*A008586(n) = 10*A008586(n).

a(n) = A008602(A005843(n)) = 20*A005843(n).

a(n) = A007395(n)*A008602(n) = 2*A008602(n).
