Comments

The identity (10368*n^2-4896*n+577)^2-(36*n^2-17*n+2)* (1728*n-408)^2=1 can be written as A157267(n)^2-a(n)* A157266(n)^2=1 (see also the second comment in A157267). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jan 27 2012

The continued fraction expansion of sqrt(a(n)) is [6n-2; {1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 12n-4}]. - Magus K. Chu, Sep 09 2022
