%N A033314 Least D in the Pellian x^2 - D*y^2 = 1 for which x has least solution 
               n.
%C A033314 The i-th solution pair V(i) = [x(i), y(i)] to the Pellian x^2 - D*y^2 
               = 1 for a given least solution x(1) = n may be generated through 
               the recurrence V(i+2) = 2*n*V(i+1) - V(i) taking V(0) = [1, 0] and 
               V(1) = [n, sqrt{(n^2-1)/a(n)}]. V(i) stands for the numerator and 
               denominator of the 2i-th convergent of the continued fraction expansion 
               of sqrt(D).
%C A033314 Thus setting n = 3, for instance, we have D = a(3) = 2 and V(1) = [3, 
               2] so that along with V(0) = [1, 0] recurrence V(i+2) = 6*V(i+1)-V(i) 
               generates [A001333(2k), A000129(2k)]. Similarly, setting n = 9 generates 
               [A023039, A060645], respectively the numerator and denominator of 
               the 2i-th convergent of sqrt{a(9)}, i.e. sqrt{5}. - Lekraj Beedassy
