COMMENT

This equation can also be written as (2*a(n)-b(n))^2 - D(n)*b(n)^2 = +4 or -4 with D(n) := A077425(n)=1+4*G(n).

This is from Perron's table (see reference p. 108, for n = 1..28) which gives the minimal x,y values which solve the above mentioned Diophantine equations.

For Pell equation x^2 - D*y^2=+4 see A077428 and A078355. For Pell equation x^2 - D*y^2=-4 see A078356-7.
