FORMULA

Let r=(1/2)*sqrt(5). If n is odd, then a(n)=([n*r+1/2]+ 1/2)^2-(5/4)*n^2; if n is even, then a(n)=(1+[n*r])^2-(5/4)*n^2, where [ ]=Floor.

EXAMPLE

1=([r+1/2]+ 1/2)^2-(5/4)*1^2,

4=(1+[2*r])^2-(5/4)*2^2,

1=([3*r+1/2]+ 1/2)^2-(5/4)*3^2, etc. Moreover,

for n=1, the unique (j,k) is (1,1): (1+1+1)^2-4*1=5*1;

for n=2, the unique (j,k) is (1,4): (1+4+1)^2-4*4=5*4;

for n=3, the unique (j,k) is (5,1): (5+1+1)^2-4*1=5*9.
