COMMENTS

For a(1) see A000330.

The corresponding squares are in A075405, the numbers of terms in the sum = a(n)-n+1 are in A075406.

All terms were verified by solving elliptic curves. If a(n)>0, then there may be additional values of m that produce squares. See A184763 for more information.

REFERENCES

See A180442.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 24 because 1^2+...+24^2 = 70^2, a(7) = 29 because 7^2+...+29^2 = 92^2.

MATHEMATICA
