COMMENT
|
Intersection of triangular numbers with sumset of triangular numbers. Triangular number analogue of what for squares is {A057100(n)^2} = {A009000(n)^2}. {A000217} INTERSECT {A000217 + A000217}. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Mar 09 2007

FORMULA
|
x(x+1) + y(y+1) = z(z+1)
Triangular number m is in this sequence iff A000161(4*m+1)>1 or, alternatively, A083025(4*m+1)>1. [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Oct 24 2008]

EXAMPLE
|
Generally, A000217(A000217(n))=A000217(A000217(n)-1) + A000217(n) and so is automatically included. These are 6=T(3), 21=T(6), 55=T(10), etc... Other solutions exist by considering a partial sum from x to y that is triangular, e.g. 15+16+17+18=66, then T(14)+T(11)=T(18). This particular example arises from 10+4k being triangular, e.g. 66 and we therefore have a solution.
All other solutions come from 3+2k, 6+3k, 10+4k, in general T(n)+nk being triangular.
