COMMENTS
Also positive integers x in the solutions to 5*x^2 - 3*y^2 - 3*x + 3*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of y being A254675.
FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1)+62*a(n-2)-62*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).
G.f.: -x*(x^4+9*x^3-38*x^2+9*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^2-8*x+1)*(x^2+8*x+1)).
EXAMPLE
10 is in the sequence because the 10th heptagonal number is 235, which is also the 13th centered triangular number.
PROG
(PARI) Vec(-x*(x^4+9*x^3-38*x^2+9*x+1)/((x-1)*(x^2-8*x+1)*(x^2+8*x+1)) + O(x^100))
