COMMENT

Enumerates certain paraffins.

a(n) is the (n+1)st (n+3)-gonal number. - Floor van Lamoen (fvlamoen(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 20 2001

Sum of n terms of an arithmetic progression with the first term 1 and the common difference n: a(1)=1 a(2) = 1+3 a(3) = 1+4+7 a(4) = 1+5+9+13 etc. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 25 2004

This is identical to: 1st triangular number A000217, 2nd square number A000290, 3rd pentagonal number A000326, 4th hexagonal number A000384, 5th heptagonal number A000566, 6th octagonal number A000567, ..., (n+1)-th (n+3)-gonal number = main diagonal of rectangular array T(n,k) of polygonal numbers, by diagonals, referred to in A086271. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Dec 19 2007
