FORMULA

a(n) = 98*a(n-1)-a(n-2) [starting with a(0)=0 and a(1)=20] =sqrt(A072819(A001079(n))).

EXAMPLE

0 and 20 are at the start of the sequence since m^2*(m^2-1)*2/3 (A072819) starts 0, 0, 8, 48, 160, 400, 840, 1568, ... and the only squares among these are 0 and 400 with square roots of 0 and 20.
