COMMENT

Write 0,1,2,... in clockwise spiral; sequence gives numbers on negative x axis.

This sequence is the number of expressions x generated for a given modulus n in finite arithmetic. For example, n=1 (modulus 1) generates 3 expressions: 0+0=0(mod 1), 0-0=0(mod 1), 0*0=0(mod 1). By subtracting n from 4n^2, we eliminate the counting of those expressions that would include division by zero, which would be, of course, undefined. - David Quentin Dauthier (d_dauthier(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 04 2007

If A=[A033991] n(4n-1) (for n>0, 3,14,33,60,95,...,); Y=[A157330] 64*n-8 (56,120,184,...,); X=[A157331] 128*n^2-32*n+1 (97,449,1057,...,) ; , we have for all terms, Pell's equation X^2-A*Y^2=1. Example: 97^2-3*56^2=1; 449^2-14*120^2=1; 1057^2-33*184^2=1; 1921^2-60*248^2=1. [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Feb 27 2009]
