COMMENTS

The identity (20*n^2+1)^2-(100*n^2+10)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2-A158492(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 21 2012

Sequence found by reading the segment (1, 21) together with the line from 21, in the direction 21, 81,..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized dodecagonal numbers A195162. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 05 2012
