COMMENTS

This is to A136117 as A000384 is to A000326. Duke and Schulze-Pillot (1990) proved that every sufficiently large integer (and hence every sufficiently large hexagonal number) can be written as the sum of three hexagonal numbers.

FORMULA

{x: x>0 and x in A000384 and x = A000384(i) + A000384(j) for i>0 and j>0}, where A000384 = {n*(2*n-1) for n > 0}.

EXAMPLE

hex(19) = 703 = 378 + 325 = hex(14) + hex(13).

hex(21) = 861 = 630 + 231 = hex(18) + hex(11).

hex(25) = 1225 = 1035 + 190 = hex(23) + hex(10).

hex(38) = 2850 = 2415 + 435 = hex(35) + hex(15).

hex(39) = 3003 = 2850 + 153 = hex(38) + hex(9) = 2415 + 435 + 153 = hex(35) + hex(15) + hex(9).

hex(48) = 4560 = 2415 + 2145 = hex(35) + hex(33).
