COMMENTS
Superset of primes of the form 6n+1 (A002476).
It seems that all integer solutions of ((a+b)^3 - (a-b)^3) / (2*b) = c^3 have c = x^2 + 3*y^2. - Juergen Buchmueller (pullmoll(AT)t-online.de), Apr 04 2008
To prove the case of cubes in Fermat's last theorem, Euler considered numbers of the form a^2 + 3b^2. In the equation x^3 + y^3 = z^3, Euler specified that x = a - b and y = a + b. - Alonso del Arte, Jul 19 2012
All terms == 0,1,3,4, or 7 (mod 9). - Robert Israel, Apr 03 2017

EXAMPLE
7 is of the specified form, since 2^2 + 3 * 1^2 = 7.
So is 12, since 3^2 + 3 * 1^2 = 12, and 13, with 1^2 + 3 * 2^2 = 13.
