COMMENTS

This sequence might also be called "The Non-Pythagorean integers" since no primitive Pythagorean triangle (PPT) exists containing them. Numbers of form 2n+2 (where n is even) can not be a leg or hypotenuse of PPT [a,b,c]. This excludes all even members of the present sequence. Integers 1 and zero are excluded because they form a 'degenerate triangle' with angles = 0. Compare A125667. - H. Lee Price, Feb 02 2007

Besides the first term this sequence is the denominator of (pi/8)=(1/2)-(1/6)+(1/10)-(1/14)+(1/18)-(1/22)+.... - Mohammad K. Azarian, Oct 14 2011
