Formula
G.f.: (1+x)*(1+8*x+x^2)/(1-x)^3. - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation
G.f. for coordination sequence for A_n lattice is (1-z)^(-n) * Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n, i)^2*z^i. [Bacher et al.]
a(n) = 2 + A033583(n), n >= 1. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 18 2012
a(n) = 12 + 24*(n-1) + 8*A000217(n-2) + 6*A000290(n-1). The properties of the cuboctahedron, namely, its number of vertices (12), edges (24), and faces as well as face-type (8 triangles and 6 squares), are involved in this formula. - Peter M. Chema, Mar 26 2017
E.g.f.: -1 + 2*(1 + 5*x + 5*x^2)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, May 25 2023
Sum{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 3/4 + Pi*sqrt(5)*coth(Pi/sqrt 5)/20 = 1.14624... - R. J. Mathar, Apr 27 2024
