%F A144396 Except for the first term of [A002378], if X=[A144396], Y=[A007395], 
               A= [A002378], we have, for all other terms, Pell's equation: [A144396]^2 
               - [A002378]*[A007395]^2=1; (X^2-A*Y^2=1); example: 3^2-2*2^2=1; 5^2-6*2^2=1; 
               19^2-90*2^2=1, and so on. [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it),
