Generalized Heptagonal Numbers
A generalized heptagonal number is obtained by the formula
where Tn is the nth triangular number. The first few generalized heptagonal numbers are:
- 1, 4, 7, 13, 18, 27, 34, 46, 55, 70, 81, 99, 112, … (sequence A085787 in OEIS)
Every other generalized heptagonal number is a regular heptagonal number. Besides 1 and 70, no generalized heptagonal numbers are also Pell numbers.

Famous quotes containing the words generalized and/or numbers:
“One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
