%N A062769 Smallest number m such that the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(m) 
               has period length 2n + 1.
%C A062769 If continued fraction for sqrt(N) has period length (2k + 1) and k-th 
               convergent P(k)/Q(k) [taking P(-1)=1; Q(-1)=0 where necessary], then 
               the i-th positive solution V(i)=[x(i),y(i)] to the Pell equation 
               x^2-Ny^2=1 satisfies the recurrence V(i+2) = 2AV(i+1) - V(i) starting 
               with V(0)=(1,0); V(1)=(A,B) where A = 2S^2 + 1; B = 2ST and S = P(k)Q(k) 
               + P(k-1)Q(k-1); T = Q(k)^2 + Q(k-1)^2

%e A062769 For n = 2, 2n+1 = 5. a(2) = 13 and we indeed have sqrt(13) = [3; 1, 1, 
               1, 1, 6] with period length 5, the first one in the sequence sqrt(29) 
               = [5; 2, 1, 1, 2, 10], sqrt(53) = [7; 3, 1, 1, 3, 14], sqrt(74) = 
               [8; 1, 1, 1, 1, 16], sqrt(85) = [9; 4, 1, 1, 4, 18], sqrt(89) = [9;
