%N List of ordered areas of Pythagorean triangles.

%C All terms are divisible by 6.

%C Let k be even, k > 2, q = (k/2)^2 - 1, and b = (kq)/2. Then, for any k, b is a term of a(n). In other words, for any even k > 2, there is at least one such integer q > 2 that b = (kq)/2 and b is a term of a(n), while hypotenuse c = q + 2 (proved by _Anton Mosunov_). - _Sergey Pavlov_, Mar 02 2017

%C Let x be odd, x > 1, k == 0 (mod x), k > 0, y = (x-1)/2, q = ky + (ky/x), b = (kq)/2. Then b is a term of a(n), while hypotenuse c = q + k/x. As a special case of the above equation (k = x), for each odd k > 1 there exist such q and b that q = (k^2 - 1)/2, b = (kq)/2, and b is a term of a(n), while hypotenuse c = q + 1. - _Sergey Pavlov_, Mar 06 2017

%F Theorem: The number of pairs of integers a > b > 0 with ab(a^2-b^2) < n^2 is Cn + O(n^(2/3)) where C = (1/2)*Integral_{1..infinity} du/sqrt(u^3-u). [Granville] - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Feb 07 2008

%e 6 is in the sequence because it is the area of the 3-4-5 triangle.

%t t = {}; nn = 200; mx = Sqrt[2*nn - 1] (nn - 1)/2; Do[x = Sqrt[n^2 - d^2]; If[x > 0 && IntegerQ[x] && x > d && d*x/2 <= mx, AppendTo[t, d*x/2]], {n, nn}, {d, n - 1}]; t = Sort[t]; t (* _T. D. Noe_, Sep 23 2013 *)
