COMMENTS
(-204, a(1)) and (A129642(n), a(n+1)) are solutions (x, y) to the Diophantine equation x^2+(x+457)^2 = y^2.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (601+276*sqrt(2))/457 for n mod 3 = {0, 2}.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (213651+31850*sqrt(2))/457^2 for n mod 3 = 1.
FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3)-a(n-6) for n > 6; a(1)=325, a(2)=457, a(3)=877, a(4)=1073, a(5)=2285, a(6)=4937.
G.f.: (1-x)*(325+782*x+1659*x^2+782*x^3+325*x^4) / (1-6*x^3+x^6).
a(3*k-1) = 457*A001653(k) for k >= 1.
EXAMPLE
(-204, a(1)) = (-204, 325) is a solution: (-204)^2+(-204+457)^2 = 41616+64009 = 105625 = 325^2.
(A129642(1), a(2)) = (0, 457) is a solution: 0^2+(0+457)^2 = 208849 = 457^2.
(A129642(3), a(4)) = (495, 1073) is a solution: 495^2+(495+457)^2 = 245025+906304 = 1151329 = 1073^2.
