[seqfan] R: Re: Sequence related to A180919

Bellissimo :)
 
It all adds up!
 
With a less beautiful "code" I had calculated a similar sequence (n^2+h*n+1 for n>=0, h>1).
Thank you, Robert, what you wrote is wonderful. I had already answered your contributions but my message was deleted for reasons of length (I had recopied my sequence with 900 terms).
Now I'm going to study these results.
Thanks for your precious help ;)
 
Bruno

Now that's lovely, thank you!

We can't for technical reasons  8-)
A remark should obviously be added.

Again, thanks for you help,   jj
