COMMENT

This sequence was inspired by a puzzle question that asked for all squares under a trillion that can be expressed as either a+bc or b+ac where a,b,c are in geometric progression.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=3 because 3^2=1+2*4, and 1,2,4 are in geometric sequence

a(2)=102 because 102^2=36+72*144, and 36,72,144 are in geometric sequence

a(3)=130 because 130^2=25+75*225, and 25,75,225 are in geometric sequence

a(4)=312 because 312^2=8+92*1058, and ...

a(5)=759 because 759^2=81+360*1600

a(6)=2496 because 2496^2=512+1472*4232

a(7)=2706 because 2706^2=1936+2420*3025

a(8)=3465 because 3465^2=1225+2450*4900

a(9)=6072 because 6072^2=5184+5760*6400

a(10)=6111 because 6111^2=3969+5292*7056

a(11)=8424 because 8424^2=5832+7452*9522

a(12)=14004 because 14004^2=432+4392*44652

a(13)=16005 because 16005^2=1089+6534*39204

a(14)=36897 because 36897^2=21609+30870*44100

a(15)=37156 because 37156^2=12544+25872*53361

a(16)=92385 because 92385^2=50625+75600*112896

a(17)=98640 because 98640^2=50625+78975*123201

a(18)=112032 because 112032^2=27648+70272*178608

a(19)=117708 because 117708^2=41616+83232*166464

a(20)=128040 because 128040^2=69696+104544*156816

a(21)=351260 because 351260^2=67600+202800*608400

a(22)=378108 because 378108^2=314928+355752*401868

a(23)=740050 because 740050^2=521284+658464*831744

No other numbers smaller than a million have squares that can be expressed this way.
