REFERENCES

Mohammad K. Azarian, Diophantine Pair, Problem B-881, Fibonacci Quarterly, Vol. 37, No. 3, August 1999, pp. 277-278. Solution appeared in Vol. 38, No. 2, May 2000, pp. 183-184.

FORMULA

Let b(n) be A072256. Then a(2n+2)=2*a(2n+1)-a(2n)+b(n+1), a(2n+3)=2*a(2n+2)-a(2n+1)+b(n+2), with a(0)=0, a(1)=1; g.f.: A(x)=x*(1+x)^2/((1-x)*(1-10x^2+x^4).

EXAMPLE

a(3)=(2*3)-1+9=14, a(4)=(2*14)-3+9=34 etc.
