A002413(n + 1) is the number of 4-tuples (w, x, y, z) having all terms in {0, ..., n} and w = floor((x + y + z)/2). - Clark Kimberling, May 28 2012
For n > 0, the digital roots of this sequence A010888(A002413(n)) form the purely periodic 27-cycle {1, 8, 8, 6, 7, 7, 2, 6, 6, 7, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4, 8, 3, 3, 4, 2, 2, 9, 1, 1, 5, 9, 9}.
For n > 0, the units' digits of this sequence A010879(A002413(n)) form the purely periodic 20-cycle {1, 8, 6, 0, 5, 6, 8, 6, 5, 0, 6, 8, 1, 0, 0, 6, 3, 6, 0, 0}.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = n*(n + 1)*(5*n - 2)/6.
G.f.: x*(1 + 4*x)/(1 - x)^4. [Suggested by Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
a(n) = a(n - 1) + n*(5*n - 3)/2.
a(n) = 3*a(n - 1) - 3*a(n - 2) + a(n - 3) + 5.
a(n) = 4*a(n - 1) - 6*a(n - 2) + 4*a(n - 3) - a(n - 4)
a(n) = binomial(n + 2, 3) + 4*binomial(n + 1, 3) = (5*n - 2) * binomial(n + 1, 2)/3.
Sum_{n >= 1} 1/a(n) = 15*(log(3125) + sqrt(5)*log((3 - sqrt(5))/2) - 2*Pi*sqrt(5*(5 - 2*sqrt(5)))/5 - 8/5)/28 = 1.207293...

EXAMPLE

For n=7, a(7) = 7*1 + 6*6 + 5*11 + 4*16 + 3*21 + 2*26 + 1*31 = 308. - Bruno Berselli, Feb 10 2014
