%N Indices of hexagonal numbers which are also heptagonal.

%C As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim(n->Infinity,a(n)/a(n-1)) = (2+sqrt(5))^4 = 161+72*sqrt(5). - Ant King, Dec 24 2011

%F G.f. x*(-1+76*x+5*x^2) / ( (x-1)*(x^2-322*x+1) ). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 21 2011

%F Contribution from Ant King, Dec 24 2011: (Start)

%F a(n) = 322*a(n-1)-a(n-2)-80.

%F a(n) = 1/40*sqrt(5)*((1+sqrt(5))*(sqrt(5)+2)^(4n-3)+(1-sqrt(5))*(sqrt(5)-2)^(4n-3)+2*sqrt(5)).

%F a(n) = ceiling(1/40*sqrt(5)*(1+sqrt(5))*(sqrt(5)+2)^(4n-3)).

%F (End)
