Numbers of the form (k^2+1)/2 for k odd.

Create the simple continued fraction from Pythagorean triples to get [2n + 1; 2n^2 + 2n, 2n^2 + 2n + 1]; its value equals the rational number 2n + 1 + a(n) / (4n^4 + 8n^3 + 6n^2 + 2n + 1). - J. M. Bergot, Sep 30 2011
a(n), n >= 1, has in its prime number factorization only primes of the form 4*k+1, i.e., congruent to 1 (mod 4) (see A002144). This follows from the fact that a(n) is a primitive sum of two squares and odd. See Theorem 3.20, p. 164, in the given Niven-Zuckerman-Montgomery reference. E.g., a(3) = 25 = 5^2, a(6) = 85 = 5*17. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 08 2012

(a(n)-1)/a(n) = 2*x / (1+x^2) where x = n/(n+1). Note that in this form, this is the velocity-addition formula according to the special theory of relativity (two objects traveling at 1/(n+1) slower than c relative to each other appear to travel at 1/a(n) less than c to a stationary observer). - Christian N. K. Anderson, May 20 2013 [Corrected by Rémi Guillaume, May 22 2025]
A geometric curiosity: the envelope of the circles x^2 + (y-a(n)/2)^2 = ((2n+1)/2)^2 is the parabola y = x^2, the n=0 circle being the osculating circle at the parabola vertex. - Jean-François Alcover, Dec 02 2013
Draw n ellipses in the plane (n>0), any 2 meeting in 4 points; a(n-1) gives the number of internal regions into which the plane is divided (cf. A051890, A046092); a(n-1) = A051890(n) - 1 = A046092(n-1) + 1. - Jaroslav Krizek, Dec 27 2013
a(n) is also, of course, the scalar product of the 2-vector (n, n+1) (or (n+1, n)) with itself. The unique inverse of (n, n+1) as vector in the Clifford algebra over the Euclidean 2-space is (1/a(n))(0, n, n+1, 0) (similarly for the other vector). In general the unique inverse of such a nonzero vector v (odd element in Cl_2) is v^(-1) = (1/|v|^2) v. Note that the inverse with respect to the scalar product is not unique for any nonzero vector. See the P. Lounesto reference, sects. 1.7 - 1.12, pp. 7-14. See also the Oct 15 2014 comment in A147973. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 06 2014

a(n) appears as a solution to a "Riddler Express" puzzle on the FiveThirtyEight website. The Jan 21 2022 issue (problem) and the Jan 28 2022 issue (solution) present the following puzzle and include a proof. - Fold a square piece of paper in half, obtaining a rectangle. Fold again to obtain a square with 1/4 the size of the original square. Then make n cuts through the folded paper. a(n) is the greatest number of pieces of the unfolded paper after the cutting. - Manfred Boergens, Feb 22 2022
a(n) is (1/6) times the number of 2 X 2 triangles in the n-th order hexagram with 12*n^2 cells. - Donghwi Park, Feb 06 2024

a(n) is the number of triangles with integer sides and perimeter n.
Also a(n) is the number of triangles with distinct integer sides and perimeter n+6, i.e., number of triples (a, b, c) such that 1 < a < b < c < a+b, a+b+c = n+6. - Roger Cuculière
With a different offset (i.e., without the three leading zeros, as in A266755), the number of ways in which n empty casks, n casks half-full of wine and n full casks can be distributed to 3 persons in such a way that each one gets the same number of casks and the same amount of wine [Alcuin]. E.g., for n=2 one can give 2 people one full and one empty and the 3rd gets two half-full. (Comment corrected by Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 23 2006)
For m >= 2, the sequence {a(n) mod m} is periodic with period 12*m. - Martin J. Erickson (erickson(AT)truman.edu), Jun 06 2008
Number of partitions of n into parts 2, 3, and 4, with at least one part 3. - Joerg Arndt, Feb 03 2013
For several values of p and q the sequence (A005044(n+p) - A005044(n-q)) leads to known sequences, see the crossrefs. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 12 2013
For n>=3, number of partitions of n-3 into parts 2, 3, and 4. - David Neil McGrath, Aug 30 2014
Also, a(n) is the number of partitions mu of n of length 3 such that mu_1-mu_2 is even and mu_2-mu_3 is even (see below example). - John M. Campbell, Jan 29 2016
For n > 1, number of triangles with odd side lengths and perimeter 2*n-3. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 13 2019
Number of partitions of n+1 into 4 parts whose largest two parts are equal. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 06 2021
For n>=3, number of weak partitions of n-3 (that is, allowing parts of size 0) into three parts with no part exceeding (n-3)/2. Also, number of weak partitions of n-3 into three parts, all of the same parity as n-3. - Kevin Long, Feb 20 2021
Also, a(n) is the number of incongruent acute triangles formed from the vertices of a regular n-gon. - Frank M Jackson, Nov 04 2022

			There are 4 triangles of perimeter 11, with sides 1,5,5; 2,4,5; 3,3,5; 3,4,4. So a(11) = 4.

For odd indices we have a(2*n-3) = a(2*n). For even indices, a(2*n) = nearest integer to n^2/12 = A001399(n).
For all n, a(n) = round(n^2/12) - floor(n/4)*floor((n+2)/4) = a(-3-n) = A069905(n) - A002265(n)*A002265(n+2).

a(n+3) = a(n) if n is odd; a(n+3) = a(n) + floor(n/4) + 1 if n is even. Sketch of proof: There is an obvious injective map from perimeter-n triangles to perimeter-(n+3) triangles defined by f(a,b,c) = (a+1,b+1,c+1). It is easy to show f is surjective for odd n, while for n=2k the image of f is only missing the triangles (a,k+2-a,k+1) for 1 <= a <= floor(k/2)+1. - James East, May 01 2016

The number of rounds in a round-robin tournament with n competitors. - A. Timothy Royappa, Aug 13 2011
Diagonal sums of number triangle A113126. - Paul Barry, Oct 14 2005
When partitioning a convex n-gon by all the diagonals, the maximum number of sides in resulting polygons is 2*floor(n/2)+1 = a(n-1) (from Moscow Olympiad problem 1950). - Tanya Khovanova, Apr 06 2008

For n > 0, also the chromatic number of the (n+1)-triangular (Johnson) graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Nov 17 2017
a(n-1), for n >= 1, is also the upper bound a_{up}(b), where b = 2*n + 1, in the first (top) row of the complete coach system Sigma(b) of Hilton and Pedersen [H-P]. All odd numbers <= a_{up}(b) of the smallest positive restricted residue system of b appear once in the first rows of the c(2*n+1) = A135303(n) coaches. If b is an odd prime a_{up}(b) is the maximum. See a comment in the proof of the quasi-order theorem of H-P, on page 263 ["Furthermore, every possible a_i < b/2 ..."]. For an example see below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 19 2020
Satisfies the nested recurrence a(n) = a(a(n-2)) + 2*a(n-a(n-1)) with a(0) = a(1) = 1. Cf. A004001. - Peter Bala, Aug 30 2022
The binomial transform is 1, 2, 6, 16, 40, 96, 224, 512, 1152, 2560,.. (see A057711). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 25 2023

Complete coach system for (a composite) b = 2*n + 1 = 33: Sigma(33) ={[1; 5], [5, 7, 13; 2, 1, 2]} (the first two rows are here 1 and 5, 7, 13), a_{up}(33) = a(15) = 15. But 15 is not in the reduced residue system modulo 33, so the maximal (odd) a number is 13. For the prime b = 31, a_{up}(31) = a(14) = 15 appears as maximum of the first rows. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Feb 19 2020
