A060829 For each y >= 1 there are only finitely many values of x >= 1 such that x-y and x+y are both squares; list all such pairs (x,y) with gcd(x,y) = 1 ordered by values of y; sequence gives x values. 4

%F The solutions are given by x = r^2+2*r*k+2*k^2, y = 2*k*(k+r) with r >= 1, k >= 1, r odd, gcd(r, k) = 1.

%e Pairs are [5, 4], [17, 8], [13, 12], [37, 12], [65, 16], [29, 20], [101, 20], ... E.g. 5-4=1^2, 5+4=3^2.
