COMMENTS
The identity (13122*n^2 + 324*n + 1)^2 - (81*n^2 + 2*n)*(1458*n + 18)^2 = 1 can be written as A157506(n)^2 - A177099(n)*a(n)^2 = 1 (see Bruno Berselli's comment at A177099). - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 04 2012
FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1476 - 18*x)/(1-x)^2. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 04 2012
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 04 2012
