COMMENTS

Write 0,1,2,... in clockwise spiral; sequence gives numbers on one of 4 diagonals.

Also numbers of the form n^2-1 which are always divisible by 8. See link for proof. - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Mar 02 2003

Also, least m>n such that T(m)*T(n) is a square and more precisely that of A055112(n). {T(n)=A000217(n)} - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), May 14 2004

Or, product of n-th even number and n-th even nonprime. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov(2stepan(AT)rambler.ru), Jul 26 2009

Also sequence found by reading the line from 0, in the direction 0, 8,... and the same line from 0, in the direction 0, 24,..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized decagonal numbers A074377. Axis perpendicular to A195146 in the same spiral. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 18 2011
