COMMENT

Also indices of pentagonal numbers which are twice some other pentagonal number.

Note that A000326(n) = 2 A000326(k) <=> n(3n-1)=2k(3k-1), which is easily solved by standard Pell-type techniques (cf. link to D.Alpern's quadratic solver). Here we consider only positive solutions.

Inspired by a recent comment on A000326 by R. J. Mathar.

FORMULA

a(n) = f^{2n-2}(5,7)[2], where f(x,y) = (577x + 408y - 164, 816x + 577y - 232)

a(n) = (7,7,9,7,7,9,...) mod 10

PROGRAM

(PARI) vector(20, i, (v=if(i>1, [577, 408; 816, 577]*v-[164; 232], [5; 7]))[2, 1])

CROSSREFS
