Also, numbers m such that 9*m+4 is a square. After 0, therefore, there are no squares in this sequence. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 07 2016

Formula

From Bruno Berselli, Feb 04 2012: (Start)

G.f.: x*(5+8*x+5*x^2)/((x+1)^2*(1-x)^3).

a(n) = a(-n+1) = (18*n*(n-1)+(2*n-1)*(-1)^n+1)/8 = A004526(n)*A156638(n). (End).
