%N A132411 Sequence allows us to find X values of the equation: X^3 - (X + 1)^2 
               + X + 2 = Y^2.
%C A132411 To prove that X = 1 or X = n^2 - 1: Y^2 = X^3 - (X + 1)^2 + X + 2 = X^3 
               - X^2 - X + 1 = (X + 1)(X^2 - 2X + 1) = (X + 1)*(X - 1)^2 it means: 
               X = 1 or (X + 1) must be a perfect square, so X = 1 or X = n^2 - 
               1 with n>=1. which gives: (X, Y) = (0, 1) or (X, Y) = (1, 0) or (X, 
               Y) = (n^2 - 1, n*(n^2 - 2))with n>=2.
%C A132411 An equivalent technique of integer factorization would work for example 
               for the equation X^3+3*X^2-9*X+5=(X+5)(X-1)^2=Y^2, looking for perfect 
               squares of the form X+5=n^2. Another example is X^3+X^2-5*X+3=(X+3)*(X-1)^2=Y^2 
               with solutions generated from perfect squares of the form X+3=n^2.
