%N a(n) = a(-n) = 34*a(n-1) - a(n-2), and a(0)=1, a(1)=17.

%C The sequence satisfies the Pell equation a(n)^2 - 18 * A202299(n+1)^2 = 1. - _Vincenzo Librandi_, Dec 19 2011

%C Also numbers n such that n - 1 and 2*n + 2 are squares. - _Arkadiusz Wesolowski_, Mar 15 2015

%C And they, n - 1 and 2*n + 2, are the squares of A005319 and A003499. - _Michel Marcus_, Mar 15 2015

%C This sequence {a(n)} gives all the nonnegative integer solutions of the Pell equation a(n)^2 - 32*(3*A091761(n))^2 = +1. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Mar 09 2019
