Comments

Partial sums give the generalized 18-gonal numbers (A274979).

a(n) is also the length of the n-th line segment of the rectangular spiral whose vertices are the generalized 18-gonal numbers.

Formula

a(2n) = 14*n, a(2n+1) = 2*n + 1.

From Colin Barker, Jul 29 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1 + 14*x + x^2) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)^2).

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

a(n) = 4*n + 3*n*(-1)^n. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Nov 25 2021
