%N Values of n for which the equation x^2 - 16*y^2 = n has integer solutions.

%C This equation is a Pellian equation of the form x^2 - D^2*y^2 = N.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_16">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,-1).

%F G.f.: x^2*(x +1)*(7*x^3 +5*x^2 +3*x +1)*(x^4 +1)*(x^6 -x^5 +x^4 -x^3 +x^2 -x +1) / ((x -1)^2*(x^2 +x +1)*(x^4 +x^3 +x^2 +x +1)*(x^8 -x^7 +x^5 -x^4 +x^3 -x +1)).

%e 33 is in the sequence because the equation x^2 - 16*y^2 = 33 has solutions (X,Y) = (7,1) and (17,4).
