%N Safe perfect powers: perfect powers n such that (n-1)/2 is also a perfect power.

%C If both powers are squares, the smaller square is a triangular number, and all square triangular numbers (A001110) correspond to a member in this sequence. This proves that this sequence is infinite. Are there only finitely many other members, i.e., is A075127 \ A055792 finite? - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 12 2010

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Oct 28 2015: (Start)

%F a(n) = 35*a(n-1)-35*a(n-2)+a(n-3) for n>5.

%F G.f.: x*(234*x^4-8182*x^3+7901*x^2+72*x-9) / ((x-1)*(x^2-34*x+1)).
