If n != 1 and n^2+2 is prime then n is a member of this sequence. - Cino Hilliard, Mar 19 2007
Multiples of 3. Positive members of this sequence are the third transversal numbers (or 3-transversal numbers): Numbers of the 3rd column of positive numbers in the square array of nonnegative and polygonal numbers A139600. Also, numbers of the 3rd column in the square array A057145. - Omar E. Pol, May 02 2008
Numbers n for which polynomial 27*x^6-2^n is factorizable. - Artur Jasinski, Nov 01 2008
1/7 in base-2 notation = 0.001001001... = 1/2^3 + 1/2^6 + 1/2^9 + ... - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 24 2009
Moser conjectured, and Newman proved, that the terms of this sequence are more likely to have an even number of 1s in binary than an odd number. The excess is an undulating multiple of n^(log 3/log 4). See also Coquet, who refines this result. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 17 2013
Integer areas of medial triangles of integer-sided triangles.
Also integer subset of A188158(n)/4.
A medial triangle MNO is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a triangle ABC. The area of a medial triangle is A/4 where A is the area of the initial triangle ABC. - Michel Lagneau, Oct 28 2013
Let b(0) = 0, and b(n) = the number of distinct terms in the set of pairwise sums {b(0), ... b(n-1)} + {b(0), ... b(n-1)}. Then b(n+1) = a(n), for n > 0.
Example: b(1) = the number of distinct sums of {0} + {0}. The only possible sum is {0} so b(1) = 1. b(2) = the number of distinct sums of {0,1} + {0,1}. The possible sums are {0,1,2} so b(2) = 3. b(3) = the number of distinct sums of {0,1,3} + {0,1,3}. The possible sums are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6} so b(3) = 6. This continues and one can see that b(n+1) = a(n).
(End)
Number of partitions of 6n into exactly 2 parts. - Colin Barker, Mar 23 2015
Number of edges in a maximal planar graph with n+2 vertices, n > 0 (see A008486 comments). - Jonathan Sondow, Mar 03 2018
