%N A118894 Numbers m such that the Pell equation x^2-m*y^2=1 has fundamental solution 
               with x even.
%C A118894 Numbers m such that A002350(m) is even. These m can be used to generate 
               consecutive odd powerful numbers, as in A076445. As shown by Lang, 
               the solution of Pell's equation is greatly simplified by Chebyshev 
               polynomials of the first kind T(n,x), which is illustrated in A001075 
               for the case m=3. In that case, the solutions are x=T(n,2), for integer 
               n>0. For any m in this sequence, let E(k)=T(m+2mk,A002350(m)). Then 
               E(k)-1 and E(k)+1 are consecutive odd powerful numbers for k=0,1,
               2,...
