%N Indices of triangular numbers (A000217) which are also centered heptagonal numbers (A069099).

%C Also positive integers x in the solutions to x^2 - 7*y^2 + x + 7*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of y being A253879.

%F G.f.: -x*(x^2+5*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^2-16*x+1)).

%F a(n) = (-2+(8-3*sqrt(7))^n*(3+sqrt(7))-(-3+sqrt(7))*(8+3*sqrt(7))^n)/4. - _Colin Barker_, Mar 04 2016

%e 22 is in the sequence because the 22nd triangular number is 253, which is also the 9th centered heptagonal number.
