%N A094081 Smallest integral ladder whose ends slide over the respective distances
1 and m=2n+1 while slipping down along horizontal ground and vertical
wall against which it leans.
%C A094081 Ladder has upper end at height M(8*M - 5) and lower end distance 4*M*m
off the wall (or vice versa), where 2M=m^2 + 1. {The Pythagorean
triple is M times (8*M-3, 8*M-5, 4*m)}.
%F A094081 a(n)=M(8*M - 3), where M=2n^2 + 2n + 1=A001844(n).
%F A094081 (2n^2 - 2n + 1)*(16n^2 - 16n + 5).
%e A094081 The expressions associated with the first few entries are:
%e A094081 5^2=3^2 + 4^2=(3+1)^2 + (4-1)^2.
%e A094081 185^2=175^2 + 60^2=(175+1)^2 + (60-3)^2.
%e A094081 1313^2=1287^2 + 260^2=(1287+1)^2 + (260-5)^2.
%e A094081 4925^2=4875^2 + 700^2=(4875+1)^2 + (700-7)^2.
%e A094081 13325^2=13243^2 +1476^2=(13243+1)^2 + (1476-9)^2.
%e A094081 Consider the case n=2. For a ladder L with upper end at height h off
ground and lower end at distance s off wall, we have relations L^2=h^2
+ s^2=(h-1)^2 + (s+5)^2.....(*), which boil down to X^2 - 26*Y^2=-1
using the parameters X=2k+7, Y=L/13, h=5k+18, s=k+1, so that triples
(L, h, s) are generated from the recurrence V(i)=102*V(i-1) - V(i-2)
+ W, where vectors V(i)=[L(i) h(i) s(i)], W=[0 -50 250], with V(-1)=[13
-12 -5], V(0)=[13 13 0], yielding solutions (1313, 1288, 255);(133913,
131313, 26260);(13657813, 13392588, 2678515);(1392963013, 1365912613,
273182520);...all satisfying relation (*) above with the smallest
solution L(1) being 1313=a(2).
