Comments

Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+17, y).

Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A155923.

For the generic case x^2+(x+p)^2 = y^2 with p = 2*m^2-1 a prime number in A066436, m >= 2 the associated value in A066049, the x values are given by the sequence defined by a(n) = 6*a(n-3)-a(n-6)+2p with a(0)=0, a(1)=2m+1, a(2)=6m^2-10m+4, a(3)=3p, a(4)=6m^2+10m+4, a(5)=40m^2-58m+21 (cf. A118673).

For the generic case x^2+(x+p)^2=y^2 with p=2*m^2-1 a prime number in A066436, m>=2, Y values are given by the sequence defined by: b(n)=6*b(n-3)-b(n-6) with b(0)=p, b(1)=2*m^2+2m+1, b(2)=10m^2-14m+5, b(3)=5p, b(4)=10m^2+14m+5, b(5)=58m^2-82m+29. - Mohamed Bouhamida, Sep 09 2009
