From Colin Barker, Jan 06 2015: (Start)
Also indices of centered square numbers (A001844) which are also centered triangular numbers (A005448).
Also indices of centered octagonal numbers (A016754) which are also centered hexagonal numbers (A003215).
Also positive integers y in the solutions to 3*x^2-4*y^2-3*x+4*y = 0, the corresponding values of x being A001922.

FORMULA
|
a(n+3) = 15*a(n+2)-15*a(n+1)+a(n). If x^2-3*y^2=1 with x even then a() =(y+2)/4 evidently related to A001570 by: add 1 and halve.
G.f.: x*(x^2 - 8*x + 1)/(-x^3 + 15*x^2 - 15*x + 1). - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Feb 15 2009
a(n) = (4+(7-4*sqrt(3))^n*(2+sqrt(3))-(-2+sqrt(3))*(7+4*sqrt(3))^n)/8. - Colin Barker, Mar 05 2016
