COMMENTS

The identity (200*n-1)^2-(100*n^2-n)*(20)^2=1 can be written as A157955(n)^2-a(n)*(20)^2=1 (see Barbeau's paper).

Also, the identity (80000*n^2-800*n+1)^2-(100*n^2-n)*(8000*n-40)^2=1 can be written as A157661(n)^2-a(n)*A157660(n)^2=1 (see also the second part of the comment in A157661). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jan 28 2012
