COMMENTS
Number of edges in the line graph of the complete bipartite graph of order 2n, L(K_n,n). - Roberto E. Martinez II, Jan 07 2002
Number of edges of the Cartesian product of two complete graphs K_n X K_n. - Roberto E. Martinez II, Jan 07 2002
That is, number of edges in the n X n rook graph. - Eric W. Weisstein, Jun 20 2017
n such that x^3 + x^2 + n factors over the integers. - James R. Buddenhagen, Apr 19 2005
Also the number of triangles in a 2 X n grid of points and therefore also (n choose 2) * (n choose 1) * 2, or (2n choose 3) - 2*(n choose 3). - Joshua Zucker, Jan 11 2006
Nonnegative X values of solutions to the equation (X-Y)^3-XY=0. To find Y values: b(n)=(n+1)*n^2 (see A011379). I proved that, if(X,Y) is different from (0,0) and m=2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,..., then the equation (X-Y)^m-XY=0,... has no solution. - Mohamed Bouhamida, May 10 2006
For n>=1, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1,2,3}->{1,2,...,n} such that for a fixed x in {1,2,3} and a fixed y in {1,2,...,n} we have f(x)<>y. - Aleksandar M. Janjic and Milan Janjic, Mar 13 2007
a(n) equals the coefficient of log(2) in 2F1(n-1,n-1,n+1,-1). - John M. Campbell, Jul 16 2011
Define the infinite square array m(n,k) = (n-k)^2 for 1<=k<=n below the diagonal and m(n,k) = (k+n)(k-n) for 1<=n<=k above the diagonal. Then a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} m(n,k) + Sum_{r=1..n} m(r,n), the "hook sum" of the terms left from m(n,n) and above m(n,n). - J. M. Bergot, Aug 16 2013
Partial sums of A049451. - Bruno Berselli, Feb 10 2014
Volume of an extruded rectangular brick with side lengths n, n and n-1. - Luciano Ancora, Jun 24 2015

FORMULA
G.f.: 2*x^2*(x+2)/(-1+x)^4 = 6/(-1+x)^4+10/(-1+x)^2+14/(-1+x)^3+2/(-1+x). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 19 2007
a(n) = floor(n^5/(n^2+n+1)). - Gary Detlefs, Feb 10 2010
a(n) = 4*binomial(n,2) + 6*binomial(n,3). - Gary Detlefs, Mar 25 2012
a(n+1) = 2*A006002(n). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 31 2012
a(n) = (A000217(n-1)+A000217(n))*(A000217(n-1)-A000217(n-2)). - J. M. Bergot, Oct 31 2012
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 19 2015: (Start)
a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-a(n-4).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} Sum_{i=n-k-1..n+k-1} i. (End)
Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = 2 - Pi^2/6. - Daniel Suteu, Feb 06 2017
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = Pi^2/12 + 2*log(2) - 2. - Amiram Eldar, Jul 05 2020
E.g.f.: exp(x)*x^2*(2 + x). - Stefano Spezia, May 20 2021
Product_{n>=2} (1 - 1/a(n)) = A146485. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 22 2022
