%N Indices of centered heptagonal numbers (A069099) which are also hexagonal numbers (A000384).

%C Also positive integers y in the solutions to 4*x^2-7*y^2-2*x+7*y-2 = 0, the corresponding values of x being A253714.

%F a(n) = a(n-1)+64514*a(n-2)-64514*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).

%F G.f.: x*(2159*x^3+32257*x^2-2159*x-1) / ((x-1)*(x^2-254*x+1)*(x^2+254*x+1)).

%e 2160 is in the sequence because the 2160th centered heptagonal number is 16322041, which is also the 2857th hexagonal number.
