FORMULA

Conjecture: a(n)=3*A098301(n-2)+1. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 11 2009]

a(n)=14*a(n-1)-a(n-2)-6, with a(0)=1,a(1)=4. (See Brown and Shiue)

a(n)=(A001075(n-2))^2. [From Johannes Boot (jgboot(AT)absamail.co.za) Dec 16 2011, Corrected by M. F. Hasler, Jan 15 2012]

G.f.  = x*(1 - 11*x + 4*x^2)/((1 - x)*(1 - 14*x + x^2)). - M. F. Hasler, Jan 15 2012

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 49 because 49 = 7^2 = 1211 base 3 and 121 base 3 = 16 = 4^2.

PROG

(PARI) sq3nsqplus1(n) = { for(x=1, n, y = 3*x*x+1; \ print1(y" ") if(issquare(y), print1(y" ")) ) }
