For the corresponding term x1(n) see A255235(n).
For the primes 1 (mod 8) see A154935, and for the primes 7 (mod 8) see 2*A255232.
See A254934 and A254938 also for the derivation based on the Nagell reference given there.
FORMULA
A255235(n)^2 - 2*a(n)^2 = -A038873(n) gives the smallest positive (proper) solution of this (generalized) Pell equation.
EXAMPLE
See A255235.
n = 1: 4^2 - 2*3^2 = -2 = -A038873(1),
n = 3: 1^2 - 2*3^2 = 1 - 18 = -17 = -A038873(3).
