COMMENT

Conjectures: For n>0, a(n) = sqrt(6*a(n-1)^2 + 6*a(n-1) + 1)*4 + a(n-2). If this sequence is extended backwards indefinitely as follows: ...,4229680,427284,43164,4360,440,44,4,0,0,4,44,440,4360,43164,427284,4229680,... then the following recurrences hold for all n: a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 4, a(n) = 10*a(n+1) - a(n+2) + 4 and so 10*(a(n+1) - a(n-1)) = a(n-2) - a(n+2). a(n)^2 + a(n) = ((a(n+1) - a(n-1))^2/16 - 1)/6. There is a similar pattern for other values besides 6.

FORMULA

G.f.: 4*x/(1-11*x+11*x^2-x^3)

PROGRAM

(PARI) for(n=0, 427284, if(issquare(6*n*(n+1)+1), print1(n, ", ")))
