COMMENTS
(-41,a(1)) and (A130014(n), a(n+1)) are solutions (x, y) to the Diophantine equation x^2+(x+881)^2 = y^2.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (883+42*sqrt(2))/881 for n mod 3 = {0, 2}.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (2052963+1343918*sqrt(2))/881^2 for n mod 3 = 1.

FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3) - a(n-6) for n > 6; a(1)=841, a(2)=881, a(3)=925, a(4)=4121, a(5)=4405, a(6)=4709.
G.f.: (1-x)*(841+1722*x+2647*x^2+1722*x^3+841*x^4) / (1-6*x^3+x^6).
a(3*k-1) = 881*A001653(k) for k >= 1.
