COMMENTS
Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+41, y).
Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A157257.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3 + 2*sqrt(2).
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (7 + 2*sqrt(2))/(7 - 2*sqrt(2)) for n mod 3 = {1, 2}.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (3 + 2*sqrt(2))*(7 - 2*sqrt(2))^2/(7 + 2*sqrt(2))^2 for n mod 3 = 0.
FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3) - a(n-6) + 82 for n > 6; a(1)=0, a(2)=36, a(3)=39, a(4)=123, a(5)=319, a(6)=336.
G.f.: x*(36 + 3*x + 84*x^2 - 20*x^3 - x^4 - 20*x^5)/((1-x)*(1 - 6*x^3 + x^6)).
a(3*k + 1) = 41*A001652(k) for k >= 0.
