Comments

Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+73, y).

Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A160041.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (89+36*sqrt(2))/73 for n mod 3 = {1, 2}.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (5907+1802*sqrt(2))/73^2 for n mod 3 = 0.
