COMMENT

It appears this sequence gives all the nonnegative m such that 42*n^2 + 42*n + 1 is a square.

FORMULA

a(n)=-1/2-1/6*(-1)^n*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(1/4*(-1)^n)*sqrt(42) *(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(-1/4)-(-1)^n*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(1/4*( -1)^n)*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(-1/4) + 5/28*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(1/4 *(-1)^n)*sqrt(42)*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(-1/4) + 5/4*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13 + 2 *sqrt(42))^(1/4*(-1)^n)*(13 + 2*sqrt(42))^(-1/4) + 1/6*(-1)^n*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(-1/4) *(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/4*(-1)^n)*sqrt(42) + 5/4*(13-2 *sqrt(42))^(-1/4)*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/4*(-1)^n)-(-1)^n *(13-2*sqrt(42))^(-1/4)*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/4*(-1)^n)-5/28*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(-1/4)*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/2*n)*(13-2*sqrt(42))^(1/4*(-1)^n) *sqrt(42), with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Aug 28 2009]

G.f.: 4*x*(1+x+x^2)/((1-x)*(x^4-26*x^2+1)). a(n) = a(n-1)+26*a(n-2)-26*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Sep 13 2009]
