COMMENTS

Are there terms > 4 in this sequence which are not odd squares (cf. A130284)?

EXAMPLE

a(1)=4 since 1(2^2-1)+1=2^2, 2(5^2-1)+1=7^2, 3(3^2-1)+1=5^2 but 4(m^2-1)+1 = 4m^2-3 can't be a square because the largest square < 4m^2 is (2m-1)^2 = 4m^2-4m+1 < 4m^2-3 for m>1.

a(2)=9 since for n=5,6,7,8 one has m=2,3,5,2, but 9(m^2-1)+1 = 9m^2-8 > 9m^2-11 >= 9m^2-6m+1 = (3m-1)^2 and therefore can't be a square.

CROSSREFS

Cf. A084702, A130280, A130284, A130288.
