This is the Pell-type equation x^2 - 7y^2 = 18. %C A048909 This equation has unit solutions (x,y) = (5,1), (9, 3) and (19, 7), which lead to the family of solutions (5, 1), (9, 3), (19, 7), (61, 23), (135, 51), (299, 113), (971, 367), .... The corresponding integer solutions are (m,n) = (1,1), (10, 25), (154, 406), (2449, 6478), ... (A048907 and A048908), giving the nonagonal triangular numbers 1, 325, 82621, 20985481, ... shown here. %C A048909 Also, numbers simultaneously 9-gonal and centered 9-gonal, the intersection of A001106 and A060544. - Steven Schlicker (schlicks(AT)gvsu.edu), Apr 24 2007 %D A048909 S.
