COMMENTS
8 of the first 10 terms are of the form x^y. The two exceptions are a(7) = 311904 = 2^5 * 3^3 * 19^2 and a(10) = 449765784 = 2^3 * 3^5 * 13^2 * 37^2.
The corresponding squares are given by A075873(2*n-1)^2. E.g., triangular(a(10)) + triangular(2*a(10)) = 711142146^2 = A075873(19)^2.
Locations of squares in A147875, equivalent to solving the Diophantine equation n*(5*n+3)=2*s^2. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 19 2013

a(n) = (A228209(2*n-1) - 3) / 10. - Max Alekseyev, Sep 04 2013
G.f.: x^2*(x+1)*(x^4 + 23*x^3 + 168*x^2 + 23*x + 1) / (x^6 - 1442*x^3 + 1) / (1-x). - Max Alekseyev, Sep 04 2013
