COMMENTS

(-12, a(1)) and (A118675(n), a(n+1)) are solutions (x, y) to the Diophantine equation x^2+(x+47)^2 = y^2.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (51+14*sqrt(2))/47 for n mod 3 = {0, 2}.

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (3267+1702*sqrt(2))/47^2 for n mod 3 = 1.

For the generic case x^2+(x+p)^2=y^2 with p= m^2 -2 a prime number in A028871, m>=2, the x values are given by the sequence defined by: a(n)= 6*a(n-3) -a(n-6) +2*p with a(1)=0, a(2)= 2*m +2, a(3)= 3*m^2 -10*m +8, a(4)= 3*p, a(5)= 3*m^2 +10*m +8, a(6)= 20*m^2 -58*m +42. Y values are given by the sequence defined by: b(n)= 6*b(n-3) -b(n-6) with b(1)=p, b(2)= m^2 +2*m +2, b(3)= 5*m^2 -14*m +10, b(4)= 5*p, b(5)= 5*m^2 +14*m +10, b(6)= 29*m^2 -82*m +58. - Mohamed Bouhamida, Sep 09 2009

FORMULA

a(n) = 6*a(n-3) -a(n-6) for n > 6; a(1)=37, a(2)=47, a(3)=65, a(4)=157, a(5)=235, a(6)=353.

G.f.: (1-x)*(37+84*x+149*x^2+84*x^3+37*x^4) / (1-6*x^3+x^6).

a(3*k-1) = 47*A001653(k) for k >= 1.

EXAMPLE

(-12, a(1)) = (-12, 37) is a solution: (-12)^2+(-12+47)^2 = 144+1225 = 1369 = 37^2.

(A118675(1), a(2)) = (0, 47) is a solution: 0^2+(0+47)^2 = 2209 = 47^2.

(A118675(3), a(4)) = (85, 157) is a solution: 85^2+(85+47)^2 = 7225+17424 = 24649 = 157^2.
