COMMENTS

Or, 3*A000217(X) is a square. [From Zak Seidov (zakseidov(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 08 2009]

"You can find an infinite number of [different] triangular numbers such that when multipled together form a square number. For example, for every triangular number, T_n, there are an infinite number of other triangular numbers, T_m, such that T_n*T_m is a square. For example, T_2 * T_24 = 30^2." Pickover. [From Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), Apr 01 2010]

FORMULA

a(0)=0, a(1)=2 and a(n)=10*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 4.

a(n)=-1/2+(1/4)*[5+2*sqrt(6)]^n+(1/4)*[5-2*sqrt(6)]^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jul 15 2008

a(n) = (A001079(n) - 1)/2 [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Nov 13 2009]

a(n) = +11*a(n-1) -11*a(n-2) +a(n-3) = 2*A098297(n). G.f.: -2*x*(1+x) / ( (x-1)*(x^2-10*x+1) ). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Apr 20 2010]
