cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Number of edges in the join of two complete graphs of order n^2 and n, K_n^2 * K_n. - Roberto E. Martinez II, Jan 07 2002
The general formula for alternating sums of powers is in terms of the Swiss-Knife polynomials P(n,x) A153641 2^(-n-1)(P(n,1)-(-1)^k P(n,2k+1)). Thus a(k) = |2^(-5)(P(4,1)-(-1)^k P(4,2k+1))|. - Peter Luschny, Jul 12 2009
Define an infinite symmetric array by T(n,m) = n*(n-1) + m for 0 <= m <= n and T(n,m) = T(m,n), n >= 0. Then a(n) is the sum of terms in the top left (n+1) X (n+1) subarray: a(n) = Sum_{r=0..n} Sum_{c=0..n} T(r,c). - J. M. Bergot, Jul 05 2013
a(n) is the sum of all positive numbers less than A002378(n). - J. M. Bergot, Aug 30 2013
Except the first term, these are triangular numbers that remain triangular when divided by their index, e.g., 66 divided by 11 gives 6. - Waldemar Puszkarz, Sep 14 2017
a(n) is the semiperimeter of the unique primitive Pythagorean triple such that (a-b+c)/2 = T(n) = A000217(n). Its long leg and hypotenuse are consecutive natural numbers and the triple is (2*T(n) - 1, 2*T(n)*(T(n) - 1), 2*T(n)*(T(n) - 1) + 1). - Miguel-Ángel Pérez García-Ortega, May 27 2025

Examples

			From _Bruno Berselli_, Oct 30 2017: (Start)
After 0:
1   =                 -(1) + (2);
15  =             -(1 + 2) + (3 + 4 + 5 + 2*3);
66  =         -(1 + 2 + 3) + (4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + ... + 11 + 3*4);
190 =     -(1 + 2 + 3 + 4) + (5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + ... + 19 + 4*5);
435 = -(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) + (6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + ... + 29 + 5*6), etc. (End)
