The denominators of Hoehn's sequence (recalled by G. L. Honaker, Jr.) and the numerators of that sequence reversed. The sequence is 1/3, (1+3)/(5+7), (1+3+5)/(7+9+11), (1+3+5+7)/(9+11+13+15), ...; reduced to 1/3, 4/12, 9/27, 16/48, ... . For the reversal, the reduction is 3/1, 12/4, 27/9, 48/16, ... . - Enoch Haga, Oct 05 2007

The Wiener index of the crown graph G(n) (n>=3). The crown graph G(n) is the graph with vertex set {x(1), x(2), ..., x(n), y(1), y(2), ..., y(n)} and edge set {(x(i), y(j)): 1<=i, j<=n, i/=j} (= the complete bipartite graph K(n,n) with horizontal edges removed). Example: a(3)=27 because G(3) is the cycle C(6) and 6*1 + 6*2 + 3*3 = 27. The Hosoya-Wiener polynomial of G(n) is n(n-1)(t+t^2)+nt^3. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 29 2013

Integer area A of equilateral triangles whose side lengths are in the commutative ring Z[3^(1/4)] = {a + b*3^(1/4) + c*3^(1/2) + d*3^(3/4), a,b,c and d in Z}.
The area of an equilateral triangle of side length k is given by A = k^2*sqrt(3)/4. In the ring Z[3^(1/4)], if k = q*3^(1/4), then A = 3*q^2/4 is an integer if q is even. Example: 27 is in the sequence because the area of the triangle (6*3^(1/4), 6*3^(1/4), 6*3^(1/4)) is 27. (End)
a(n) is 2*sqrt(3) times the area of a 30-60-90 triangle with short side n. Also, 3 times the area of an n X n square. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 06 2016
Consider the hexagonal tiling of the plane. Extract any four hexagons adjacent by edge. This can be done in three ways. Fold the four hexagons so that all opposite faces occupy parallel planes. For all parallel projections of the resulting object, at least two correspond to area a(n) for side length of n of the original hexagons. - Torlach Rush, Aug 17 2022
The sequence terms are the exponents in the expansion of Product_{n >= 1} (1 - q^(3*n))/(1 + q^(3*n)) = ( Sum_{n in Z} q^(n*(3*n+1)/2) ) / ( Product_{n >= 1} 1 + q^n ) = 1 - 2*q^3 + 2*q^12 - 2*q^27 + 2*q^48 - 2*q^75 + - .... - Peter Bala, Dec 30 2024

Define a 'stable brick triangle' as:
      -----
      | c |
  ---------
  | a | | b |
  ----------
with a, b, c > 0 and c <= a + b. This can be visualized as two bricks with a third brick on top. The third brick can only be as strong as a+b, otherwise the wall collapses - for example, (1,2,4) is unstable.
a(n) gives the number of stable brick triangles that can be formed if the two supporting bricks are 1 <= a <= n and 1 <= b <= n: a(n) = Sum_{a=1..n} Sum_{b=1..n} Sum_c 1 = n^3 + n^2 as given in the Adamchuk formula.
So for i=j=n=2 we have 4:
   1    2    3    4
  2 2  2 2  2 2  2 2
For example, n=2 gives 2 from [a=1,b=1], 3 from both [a=1,b=2] and [a=2,b=1] and 4 from [a=2,b=2] so a(2) = 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 12. (End)
Define the infinite square array m(n,k) by m(n,k) = (n-k)^2 if n >= k >= 0 and by m(n,k) = (k+n)*(k-n) if 0 <= n <= k. This contains A120070 below the diagonal. Then a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} m(n,k) + Sum_{r=0..n} m(r,n), the "hook sum" of the terms to the left of m(n,n) and above m(n,n) with irrelevant (vanishing) terms on the diagonal. - J. M. Bergot, Aug 16 2013
a(n) is the sum of all pairs with repetition drawn from the set of odd numbers 2*n-3. This is similar to A027480 but using the odd integers instead. Example using n=3 gives the odd numbers 1,3,5: 1+1, 1+3, 1+5, 3+3, 3+5,5+5 having a total of 36=a(3). - J. M. Bergot, Apr 05 2016
a(n) is the first Zagreb index of the complete graph K[n+1]. The first Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the squared degrees of its vertices. Alternately, it is the sum of the degree sums d(i)+d(j) over all edges ij of the graph. - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 07 2016
a(n-2) is the maximum sigma irregularity over all trees with n vertices.  The extremal graphs are stars.  (The sigma irregularity of a graph is the sum of squares of the differences between the degrees over all edges of the graph.) - Allan Bickle, Jun 14 2023

a(n) is the largest number that is not the sum of distinct numbers of form kn+1, k >= 0. - David W. Wilson, Dec 11 1999
Sum of the nontriangular numbers between successive triangular numbers. 1, (2), 3, (4, 5), 6, (7, 8, 9), 10, (11, 12, 13, 14), 15, ... Sum of the terms in brackets. Or sum of n consecutive integers beginning with T(n) + 1, where T(n) = n(n+1)/2. - Amarnath Murthy, Aug 27 2005
Apparently this is also the splittance (as defined by Hammer & Simeone, 1977) of the Kneser graphs of the form K(n+3,2). - Felix Goldberg (felixg(AT)tx.technion.ac.il), Jul 13 2009
Row sums of triangle A159797. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 24 2009
The same results occur when one plots the points (1,3), (3,6), (6,10), (10,15), and so on, for all the triangular numbers and finds the area beneath. Take three consecutive triangular numbers and label them a, b, c; the area created is simply (b-a)*(b+c)/2. Thus for 6,10,15 the area beneath the line defined by the points (6,10) and (10,15) is (10-6)*(10+15)/2 = 50. - J. M. Bergot, Jun 28 2011
Let P = ab where a and b are nonequal prime numbers > 1. Let Q be the product of all divisors of P^n. Q can be expressed as P^k, where k = n*(n+1)^2/2. This follows from the fact that all divisors are of the form a^i*b^j, for i,j from 0 to n. An example is given below. In the more general case, where P is the product of m nonequal prime numbers, k = n*(n+1)^m/2. When m=3, the sequence is the same as A092364. - James A. Raymond & Douglas Raymond, Dec 04 2011

a(n) is the sum of x (or y) coordinates for an n X n square lattice in the upper right quadrant of Z^2 whose corner points are (0, 0), (0, n), (n, 0), and (n, n). - Joseph Wheat, Feb 03 2018
a(n) is the number of permutations of [n+2] that contain exactly 2 elements which are not left-to-right minimal. E.g., the 9 permutations comprising a(2) are 2134, 2143, 3124, 3142, 4123, 4132, 2314, 2413, 3412. - Andy Niedermaier, May 07 2022

The triangle pertaining to this sequence has the property that every row, every column and every diagonal contains a nontrivial geometric progression. More interestingly every line joining any two elements contains a nontrivial geometric progression. - Amarnath Murthy, Jan 02 2002
Kappraff states (pp. 148-149): "I shall refer to this as Nicomachus' table since an identical table of numbers appeared in the Arithmetic of Nicomachus of Gerasa (circa 150 A.D.)" The table was rediscovered during the Italian Renaissance by Leon Battista Alberti, who incorporated the numbers in dimensions of his buildings and in a system of musical proportions. Kappraff states "Therefore a room could exhibit a 4:6 or 6:9 ratio but not 4:9. This ensured that ratios of these lengths would embody musical ratios". - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 18 2003
After Nichomachus and Alberti several Renaissance authors described this table. See for instance Pierre de la Ramée in 1569 (facsimile of a page of his Arithmetic Treatise in Latin in the links section). - Olivier Gérard, Jul 04 2013
The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link Nicomachus's table with eleven different sequences, see the crossrefs. It is remarkable that these eleven sequences can be described with simple elegant formulas. The mirror of this triangle is A175840. - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010
The diagonal sums Sum_{k} T(n - k, k) give A167762(n + 2). - Michael Somos, May 28 2012
Where d(n) is the divisor count function, then d(T(i,j)) = A003991, the rows of which sum to the tetrahedral numbers A000292(n+1). For example, the sum of the divisors of row 4 of this triangle (i = 4), gives d(16) + d(24) + d(36) + d(54) + d(81) = 5 + 8 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 35 = A000292(5). In fact, where p and q are distinct primes, the aforementioned relationship to the divisor function and tetrahedral numbers can be extended to any triangle of numbers in which the i-th row is of form {p^(i-j)*q^j, 0<=j<=i}; i >= 0 (e.g., A003593, A003595). - Raphie Frank, Nov 18 2012, corrected Dec 07 2012
Sequence (or tree) generated by these rules: 1 is in S, and if x is in S, then 2*x and 3*x are in S, and duplicates are deleted as they occur; see A232559. - Clark Kimberling, Nov 28 2013
Partial sums of rows produce Stirling numbers of the 2nd kind: A000392(n+2) = Sum_{m=1..(n^2+n)/2} a(m). - Fred Daniel Kline, Sep 22 2014
A permutation of A003586. - L. Edson Jeffery, Sep 22 2014
Form a word of length i by choosing a (possibly empty) word on alphabet {0,1} then concatenating a word of length j on alphabet {2,3,4}. T(i,j) is the number of such words. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jun 23 2016
