[seqfan] Re: Q: formula in A054556

[Joerg Arndt]

? v=[1, 4, 14, 31, 55, 86, 124, 169, 221, 280, 346, 419, 499, 586, 680, 781, 889, 1004, 1126, 1255]
? t=[1, 4, 15, 34, 61, 96, 139, 190, 249, 316, 391, 474, 565, 664, 771, 886, 1009, 1140, 1279, 1426]
? d=vector(min(#v,#t),n,t[n]-v[n])
[0, 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66, 78, 91, 105, 120, 136, 153, 171]
? dd=vector(#d-1, n, d[n+1]-d[n])
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]

He may have meant something along those lines.
Isn't he on the list?
