%N A134588 A modified Heron sequence starting from 1, 2. A modified Heron sequence
is an increasing sequence such that every three consecutive terms
(say u, v, w) of which determine a Heron triangle by using u+v, u+w
and v+w as three sizes. A Heron triangle is a triangle with integer
sides and integers area.
%C A134588 Given u<v be positive integers such that (u, v) is not (1, 4), (1, 9),
(2, 8), (2, 18) or (4, 6). Then there is an integer w such that the
three sizes u+v, u+w and v+w form a Heron triangle. Therefore infinite
modified Heron sequence exists. We can construct arbitrarily long
Heron sequences. However, it is still open whether an infinite Heron
sequence exists.
