FORMULA

a(n) = -3*n^2+[1+n*sqrt(3)]^2, where [ ]=floor.

EXAMPLE

1=-3*1+[1+sqrt(3)]^2

4=-3*4+[1+2*sqrt(3)]^2

9=-3*9+[1+3*sqrt(3)]^2, etc. Moreover,

for n=1, the unique (j,k) is (2,1): (2+1+1)^2-4*1=12*1;

for n=2, the unique (j,k) is (3,4): (3+4+1)^2-4*4=12*4;

for n=3, the unique (j,k) is (2,9): (2+9+1)^2-4*9=12*9.
