The identity (388962*n^2 + 1764*n + 1)^2 - (441*n^2 + 2*n)*(18522*n + 42)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A158321(n)*A157740(n)^2 = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 05 2012
This is the case s=21 of the identity (2*n^2*s^4 + 4*n*s^2 + 1)^2 - (n^2*s^2 + 2*n)*(2*n*s^3 + 2*s)^2 = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 05 2012
