COMMENTS

Quote from the link prompting this sequence. A person who can, within a year, solve x^2 - 92y^2 = 1 is a mathematician. Brahmagupta [598-668] This sequence is computed with g(1e9,92) in the pari program.

FORMULA

a(0)=1, a(1)=1151 then a(n)=2302*a(n-1)-a(n-2) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 03 2006

G.f.: (1-1151x)/(1-2302x+x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 18 2008]

a(n)=1/2*{[1151-240*sqrt(23)]^n+[1151+240*sqrt(23)]^n}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 24 2008]

EXAMPLE

(1151^2 - 1)/92 = 120^2.

PROG

(PARI) g(n, k) = for(y=0, n, x=k*y^2+1; if(issquare(x), print1(floor(sqrt(x))", ")))

(PARI) a0=1; a1=1151; for(n=2, 30, a2=2302*a1-a0; a0=a1; a1=a2; print1(a2, ", ")) (Cloitre)
