%N Indices of pentagonal numbers (A000326) that are also squares (A000290).

%C if P_x = y^2 is a pentagonal number that is also a square, the least both pentagonal and square number that is greater as P_x, is P_(49*x + 40*y - 8) = (60*x + 49*y - 10)^2 (in fact, P_(49*x + 40*y - 8) - (60*x + 49*y - 10)^2 = (3/2)*x^2 - (1/2)*x - y^2). - _Richard Choulet_, Apr 28 2009

%C a(n)*(3*a(n)-1)/2 = m^2 is equivalent to the Pell equation (6*a(n)-1)^2 - 6*(2*m)^2 = 1 or x(n)^2 - 6*y(n)^2 = 1. - _Paul Weisenhorn_, May 15 2009

%C As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim_{n -> oo} a(n)/a(n-1) = (sqrt(2) + sqrt(3))^4 = 49 + 20*sqrt(6). - _Ant King_, Nov 07 2011

%C Numbers k such that the k-th pentagonal number is equal to the sum of two consecutive triangular numbers. - _Colin Barker_, Dec 11 2014

%C Indices of pentagonal numbers (A000326) that are also centered octagonal numbers (A016754). - _Colin Barker_, Jan 11 2015
