A051624 12-gonal (or dodecagonal) numbers: a(n) = n*(5*n-4).
0, 1, 12, 33, 64, 105, 156, 217, 288, 369, 460, 561, 672, 793, 924, 1065, 1216, 1377, 1548, 1729, 1920, 2121, 2332, 2553, 2784, 3025, 3276, 3537, 3808, 4089, 4380, 4681, 4992, 5313, 5644, 5985, 6336, 6697, 7068, 7449, 7840, 8241, 8652

Examples
The graph K_3 has 3 degree 2 vertices, so a(3-1) = 3*4 = 12.

a(n)=(5*n-4)*n \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Jun 16 2011
Formula
G.f.: x*(1+9*x)/(1-x)^3.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} 10*k+1. - Klaus Brockhaus, Nov 20 2008
a(n) = 10*n + a(n-1) - 9 (with a(0)=0). - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 06 2010
a(n) = A131242(10n). - Philippe Deléham, Mar 27 2013
a(10*a(n) + 46*n + 1) = a(10*a(n) + 46*n) + a(10*n+1). - Vladimir Shevelev, Jan 24 2014
E.g.f.: x*(5*x + 1) * exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 31 2015
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3), a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=12. - G. C. Greubel, Jul 31 2015
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = sqrt(1 + 2/sqrt(5))*Pi/8 + 5*log(5)/16 + sqrt(5)*log((1 + sqrt(5))/2)/8 = 1.177956057922663858735173968... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 27 2016
a(n) + 4*(n-1)^2 = (3*n-2)^2. Let P(k,n) be the n-th k-gonal number. Then, in general, P(4k,n) + (k-1)^2*(n-1)^2 = (k*n-k+1)^2. - Charlie Marion, Feb 04 2020
Product_{n>=2} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 5/6. - Amiram Eldar, Jan 21 2021
a(n) = (3*n-2)^2 - (2*n-2)^2. In general, if we let P(k,n) = the n-th k-gonal number, then P(4k,n) = (k*n-(k-1))^2 - ((k-1)*n-(k-1))^2. - Charlie Marion, Nov 11 2021
