COMMENT

A subsequence of A136112, obtained by omitting A136112(A135771(k)), k=1,2,3,... ; i.e. those which are not the difference of two larger pentagonal numbers, but the difference of a larger and a smaller pentagonal number.

FORMULA

P(n)=n*(3*n-1)/2 <=> n*(n-1/3) = (2/3)*P(n), thus m = P(n) <=> m = P([sqrt(2m/3)]+1)

and m = P(n) <=> 24m+1 = (6n-1)^2, useful for investigating the possibility of write P(n)=P(n')+P(n"): this is possible whenever (6n-1)^2=(6n'-1)^2+(6n"-1)^2.

EXAMPLE

Indices of the following numbers are not here but in A136112:

P_23 = P_24 -P_7

P_51 = P_66 -P_42

P_71 = P_74 -P_21

P_72 = P_80 - P_35

P_99 = P_104 - P_32

P_123 = P_144 - P_75

P_239 = P_249 - P_70

P_263 = P_274 - P_77

P_311 = P_324 - P_91

P_359 = P_374 - P_105

PROGRAM

(PARI) P(n)=n*(3*n-1)/2

isPent(t)=P(sqrtint((t*2)\3)+1)==t

for( i=1, 999, for( j=1, (P(i)-1)\3, isPent(P(i)+P(j))&next(2)); print1(i", "))
