The identity (388962*n^2 - 347508*n + 77617)^2 - (441*n^2 - 394*n + 88)*(18522*n - 8274)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A157734(n)*A157735(n)^2 = 1.
This is the case s=21 and r=197 in the identity (2*(s^2*n-r)^2-1)^2 - (((s^2*n-r)^2-1)/s^2)*(2*s*(s^2*n-r))^2 = 1, where ((s^2*n-r)^2-1)/s^2 is an integer if r^2 == 1 (mod s^2). - Bruno Berselli, Apr 23 2018
