Second member m_2(n) of the Markoff triple MT(n) with largest member m(n) = A002559(n), and smallest member m_1(n) = A305313(n), for n >= 1. These triples are conjectured to be unique.

%N Second member m_2(n) of the Markoff triple MT(n) with largest member m(n) = A002559(n), and smallest member m_1(n) = A305313(n), for n >= 1. These triples are conjectured to be unique.

%C See A305313 for comments, and A002559 for references.

%F a(n) = m_2(n) is the fundamental proper solution y of the indefinite binary quadratic form x^2 - 3*m(n)*x*y + y^2, of discriminant D(n) = 9*m(n)^2 - 4 = A305312(n), representing -m(n)^2, for n >= 1, with x <= y. The uniqueness conjecture means that there are no other such fundamental solutions.

%e See A305313 for the first Markoff triples MT(n).

%Y Cf. A002559, A305312, A305313.
