Mod[ a(n), 12 ] = 1. (a(n) - 1)/12 = A076139(n) = Triangular numbers that are one-third of another triangular number. (a(n) - 1)/4 = A076140(n) = Triangular numbers T(k) that are three times another triangular number. - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 06 2007

Also numbers n such that RootMeanSquare(1,3,...,2*n-1) is an integer. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Sep 04 2008

a(n), with n>1, is the length of the cevian of equilateral triangle whose side length is the term b(n) of the sequence A028230. This cevian divides the side (2*x+1) of the triangle in two integer segments x and x+1. - Giacomo Fecondo, Oct 09 2010

For n>=2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (2n-2)X(2n-2) tridiagonal matrix with sqrt(12)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011

Beal's conjecture would imply that set intersection of this sequence with the perfect powers (A001597) equals {1}. In other words, existence of a nontrivial perfect power in this sequence would disprove Beal's conjecture. - Max Alekseyev, Mar 15 2015
