n^2=3*(2*x+4)^2+16

FORMULA

a(n+2)=14*a(n+1)-a(n) for n>=2.

G.f.: x(2-21x+x^2)/(1-14x+x^2). a(n)=7*A007655(n+2)-97*A007655(n+1), n>1. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Sep 11 2008]

a(n)=-2*sqrt(3)*{[7-4*sqrt(3)]^(n-1)-[7+4*sqrt(3)]^(n-1)}+(7/2)*{[7+4*sqrt(3)]^(n-1)+[7 -4*sqrt(3)]^(n-1)}+[C(2*n,n) mod 2], with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 25 2008]

EXAMPLE

The first examples are 2^3-0^3=2*2^2 ; 5^3-3^3=2*7^2 ; 57^3-55^3=2*97^2 ; 781^3-779^3=2*1351^2 ; 10865^3-10863^3=2*18817^2
