COMMENTS
Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+281, y).
Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A157348.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (297+68*sqrt(2))/281 for n mod 3 = {1, 2}.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (130803+73738*sqrt(2))/281^2 for n mod 3 = 0.
FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3)-a(n-6)+562 for n > 6; a(1)=0, a(2)=76, a(3)=559, a(4)=843, a(5)=1239, a(6)=3976.
G.f.: x*(76+483*x+284*x^2-60*x^3-161*x^4-60*x^5)/((1-x)*(1-6*x^3+x^6)).
a(3*k+1) = 281*A001652(k) for k >= 0.
