COMMENT

Last number of the n-th row of the triangle described in A142717.

If negated, these are also the values at local minima of the sequence A141620.

a(n)=sqrt(8n+1) when n is a triangular number (1, 3, 6, etc) [A000217] [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Jan 11 2009]

FORMULA

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), Feb 11 2009]

a(n)=A005408(n+1)=A000290(n+1)-A000290(n).

G.f.: x*(3-x)/(1-x)^2 [From Jaume Oliver Lafont (joliverlafont(AT)gmail.com), Aug 30 2009]
