Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Numbers that are the sum of a nonzero pentagonal number and a nonzero square in at least one way.
%C These pentagonal numbers P(k) that can be represented as the sum of P(i)+j^2, i,j>0, are at k= 2, 6, 9, 10, 13, 17, 21, 22, 24, 26, 29, 34, 35, 38, 41, 45, 46, 53. Are almost all positive integers in this sequence and, if so, what is the largest value in the complement? The largest square in the complement? The largest pentagonal number in the complement?
%F {A000326(i) + A000290(j) for i, j > 0}. {i(3*i-1)/2 + j^2 for i, j > 0}.
