Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+233, y).
Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A157297.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (251+66*sqrt(2))/233 for n mod 3 = {1, 2}.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (82611+44030*sqrt(2))/233^2 for n mod 3 = 0.

FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3) -a(n-6) +466 for n > 6; a(1)=0, a(2)=75, a(3)=432, a(4)=699, a(5)=1092, a(6)=3115.
G.f.: x*(75 +357*x +267*x^2 -57*x^3 -119*x^4 -57*x^5)/((1-x)*(1 -6*x^3 +x^6)).
a(3*k+1) = 233*A001652(k) for k >= 0.
