COMMENTS
For the first of the corresponding nine consecutive positive integers, see A262140.
FORMULA
a(n) = 7*a(n-1)-7*a(n-2)+a(n-3) for n>3.
G.f.: -x*(x^2-9*x+22) / ((x-1)*(x^2-6*x+1)).
a(n) = (-14+3*(3-2*sqrt(2))^(1+n)+3*(3+2*sqrt(2))^(1+n))/4. - Colin Barker, Mar 05 2016
EXAMPLE
22 is in the sequence because 22^2 + ... + 29^2 = 5244 = 20^2 + ... + 28^2.
