%N Indices of pentagonal numbers (A000326) which are also centered heptagonal numbers (A069099).

%C Also positive integers x in the solutions to 3*x^2 - 7*y^2 - x + 7*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of y being A254653.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,110,-110,-1,1).

%F a(n) = a(n-1)+110*a(n-2)-110*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).

%F G.f.: -x*(x^2-4*x+1)*(x^2+7*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^4-110*x^2+1)).

%e 4 is in the sequence because the 4th pentagonal number is 22, which is also the 3rd centered heptagonal number.
