COMMENT

To prove that X = n^2 + 3: Y^2 = X^3 - (X + 3)^2 + X + 6 = X^3 - X^2 - 5X - 3 = (X - 3)(X^2 + 2X + 1) = (X - 3)*(X + 1)^2 it means: (X - 3) must be a perfect square, so X = n^2 + 3 and Y = n(n^2 + 4).

An equivalent technique of integer factorization would work for example for the equation X^3-3*X^2-9*X-5=(X-5)(X+1)^2=Y^2, looking for perfect squares of the form X-5=n^2. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 20 2007

FORMULA

a(n) = n^2 + 3.

G.f.: -(3-5*x+4*x^2)/(-1+x)^3 = -2/(-1+x)^3-3/(-1+x)^2-4/(-1+x) . - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 20 2007

EXAMPLE

3^3 - 6^2 + 9 = 0^2, 4^3 - 7^2 + 10 = 5^2.
