%N A078358 Complementary numbers to A002378.
%C A078358 The (primitive) period length k(n)=A077427(n) of the (regular) continued
fraction of (sqrt(4*a(n)+1)+1)/2 determines whether or not the Diophantine
equation (2*x-y)^2 - (1+4*a(n))*y^2 = +4 or -4 is solvable and the
approximants of this continued fraction give all solutions. See A077057.
%C A078358 The following sequences all have the same parity: A004737, A006590, A027052,
A071028, A071797, A078358, A078446. - Jeremy Gardiner (jeremy.gardiner(AT)btinternet.com),

%C A078358 Infinite series 1/A078358(n) is divergent. Proof: Harmonic series 1/A000027(n)
is divergent and can be distributed on two subseries 1/A002378(k+1)
and 1/A078358(m). Becuase infinte subseries 1/A002378(k+1) is convergent
to 1 that mean that Sum[1/A078358(n),{n,1,Infinity}] is divergent.
