COMMENTS

Proof: define a(1)=0, a(2)=1, a(3)=2, a(4)=11 the 4 first values such that 60*(a(n)^2)+60*a(n)+1=j^2= a square then a(n)=8*a(n-2)+3-a(n-4) 60*(a(n)^2)+60*a(n)+1=j^2 ? need to found positive integer solution a(n) for a(n)^2+a(n)-(j^2-1)/60=0 so (2*a(n)+1)^2=(4*(j^2)+56)/60=(j^2+14)/15 so (j^2+14)/15 needs to be = k^2 or j^2=15*(k^2)-14 put k=2*a(n)+1, 15*((2*a(n)+1)^2)-14 = 60*(a(n)^2)+60*a(n)+1.

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1) +8*a(n-2) -8*a(n-3) -a(n-4) +a(n-5). G.f.: x^2*(1+x+x^2)/((1-x)*(x^4-8*x^2+1)). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 13 2009]
