Comments

Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+79, y).

Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A159758.

For the generic case x^2+(x+p)^2 = y^2 with p = m^2-2 a (prime) number > 7 in A028871, see A118337.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (83+18*sqrt(2))/79 for n mod 3 = {1, 2}.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (10659+6110*sqrt(2))/79^2 for n mod 3 = 0.
