Solutions y of the equation 2x^2-y^2=2; the corresponding x values are given by A001541. - N-E. Fahssi, Feb 25 2008
The lower intermediate convergents to 2^(1/2) beginning with 4/3, 24/17, 140/99, 816/577, form a strictly increasing sequence; essentially, numerators=A005319 and denominators=A001541. - Clark Kimberling, Aug 26 2008
Numbers n such that (ceiling(sqrt(n*n/2)))^2 = 1 + n*n/2. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Nov 09 2009
All nonnegative solutions of the indefinite binary quadratic form X^2 + 4*X*Y -4*Y^2 of discriminant 32, representing -4 are (X(n), Y(n)) = (a(n), A001653(n+1)), for n >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 13 2018

FORMULA

G.f.: 4*x / ( 1-6*x+x^2 ). - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.
G.f. for signed version beginning with 1: (1+2*x+x^2)/(1+6*x+x^2).
For any term n of the sequence, 2*n^2 + 4 is a perfect square. Lim a(n)/a(n-1) = 3 + 2*Sqrt(2) - Gregory V. Richardson, Oct 06 2002
a(n) = [(3+2*Sqrt(2))^n - (3-2*Sqrt(2))^n] / Sqrt(2) - Gregory V. Richardson, Oct 06 2002
(-1)^(n+1) = A090390(n+1) + A001542(n+1) + A046729(n) - a(n) (conjectured). Generated by the floretion - .5'i + .5'j - .5i' + .5j' + 'ii' - 'jj' - 2'kk' + 'ij' + .5'ik' + 'ji' + .5'jk' + .5'ki' + .5'kj' + e - Creighton Dement, Nov 17 2004
For n>0, a(n)=A000129(n+1)^2-A000129(n-1)^2; a(n)=A046090(n-1)+A001652(n); e.g. 816=120+696; a(n)=A001653(n)-A001653(n-1); e.g. 816=985-169. - Charlie Marion Jul 22 2005
a(n)=4*A001109(n). - M. F. Hasler, Mar 2009
