COMMENT

The ansatz 3*a(n)+1=A^2, 7*a(n)+1=B^2 is equivalent to the Pell equation x^2-21*y^2=1

(see A077232 for d=21), with x=(21*a(n)+5)/2 and y=A*B/2.

The associated A are in A004253, the B in A030221.

Bisection of A089927 [R. J. Mathar mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 10 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)=24*a(n-1)-24*a(n-2)+a(n-3).

a(n)=( A004253(n)^2-1)/3 = (A030221(n)^2-1)/7.

a(n)=((5+w)/2*((23+5*w)/2)^(j-1)+((5+w)/2*((23+5*w)/2)^(j-1)-5)/21; where w=sqrt(21).

G.f.: 5*x^2/((1-x)*(x^2-23*x+1)) [R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 10 2009]

MAPLE

j:=0: for n from 0 to 1000000 do a:=sqrt(3*n+1): b:=sqrt(7*n+1):

if (trunc(a)=a) and (trunc(b)=b) then j:=j+1: print(j, n, a, b): end if:
