COMMENT

Any number may be substituted for y to yield similar sequences. The number set used determines values given (i.e.- integer yields integer). All centered square integers in the set of integers may be found by this formula.

1/2 + 1/10 + 1/26 +...= (Pi/4)*tanh(Pi/2) [Jolley] - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 21 2006

Except for the first term, a(n)=8*n+a(n-1), (with a(1)=10) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Oct 24 2009]

FORMULA

[y(2x + 1)]^2 + [y(2x^2 + 2x)]^2 = [y(2x^2 + 2x +1)]^2 where y = 2. If a^2 + b^2 = c^2, then c^2 = y^2(4x^4 + 8x^3 + 8x^2 + 4x + 1). Also 2*A001844.

a(n) = (2n+1)^2+1. [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), Nov 10 2008, corrected R. J. Mathar, Sep 16 2009]

EXAMPLE

If y = 3, then 81 + 144 = 225; if y = 4, then 12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2; 7^2 + 24^2 = 25^2 = 15^2 + 20^2.
