%N Fundamental positive solution x = x1(n) of the first class of the Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = -A038873(n), n>=1 (primes congruent to {1,2,7} mod 8).

%C For the corresponding term y1(n) see A255246(n).

%C The present solutions of this first class are the smallest positive ones.

%C For the positive fundamental proper (sometimes called primitive) solutions x2 and y2 of the second class of this (generalized) Pell equation see A255247 and A255248. There is no second class for prime 2.

%C For the first class solutions of this Pell equation with primes 1 (mod 8) see A254934 and A254935. For those with primes 7 (mod 8) see A254938 and 2*A255232. For the derivation of these solutions see A254934 and A254938, also for the Nagell reference.

%F a(n)^2 - A255246(n)^2 = - A038873(n), n >= 1, gives the smallest positive (proper) solution of this (generalized) Pell equation.
