A081974 a(1) = 1 and smallest number not occurring earlier such that the product of two neighboring terms is a distinct triangular number, where "distinct" means that a(n)*a(n+1) may not equal the product of any two previous consecutive terms. 2

COMMENTS

Perhaps another re-arrangement of natural numbers.

EXAMPLE

5 and 4 are the neighbors of 9 giving the triangular numbers 45 and 36 respectively.

PROG

(PARI) istriang(n) = local(x); x = floor(sqrt(2*n)); n == x*(x + 1)/2; A = vector(75); used = vector(1000); tris = vector(50000); A[1] = 1; used[1] = 1; for (i = 2, 75, f = A[i - 1]; j = 2; while (used[j] || !istriang(f*j) || tris[f*j], j = j + 1); A[i] = j; used[j] = 1; tris[f*j] = 1); print(A)
