COMMENT

This sequence and A002144 give rise to a class of monic polynomials x^2 + bx + c where b = +/-A002144(n) and c = +/-a(n)/4 that will factor over the integers regardless of the sign of c. For example, x^2 - 13x - 30 and x^2 - 13x + 30 are two such polynomials. Further polynomials with this property can be found by transforming the roots.

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 120 and A002144(2)=13. 13^2 - 120 = 7^2 and 13^2 + 120 = 17^2.

CROSSREFS

Cf. A002144.
