COMMENTS
Corresponding square roots sqrt(a(n)) are listed in A137879.
Indices of perfect squares among the 17-gonal numbers A051869(k) = k*(15*k - 13)/2 are listed in A137880. Note that all such indices are also perfect squares, their square roots are listed in A137881(k) = sqrt(A137880(k)).
FORMULA
a(n) = A137879(n)^2 = A051869( A137880(n) ) = A051869( A137881(n)^2 ).
From Colin Barker, Jun 19 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + 232322*a(n-2) - 232322*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n > 5.
G.f.: x*(1 + 17688*x + 128214*x^2 + 17688*x^3 + x^4) / ((1-x)*(1 - 482*x + x^2)*(1 + 482*x + x^2)).
