%N A032528 Concentric hexagonal numbers: floor(3*n^2/2).
%C A032528 From _Omar E. Pol_, Aug 20 2011: (Start)
%C A032528 Cellular automaton on the hexagonal net. The sequence gives the number of "ON" cells in the structure after n-th stage. A007310 gives the first differences. For a definition without words see the illustration of initial terms in the example section. Note that the cells become intermittent. A083577 gives the primes of this sequences.
%C A032528 A033581 and A003154 interleaved.
%C A032528 Row sums of an infinite square array T(n,k) in which column k lists 2*k-1 zeros followed by the numbers A008458 (see example).  (End)
%C A032528 Sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 1, ... and the same line from 0, in the direction 0, 6, ..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized pentagonal numbers A001318. Main axis perpendicular to A045943 in the same spiral. - _Omar E. Pol_, Sep 08 2011
