%N Values of n such that the equation x^2 - n*y^2 = n has integer solutions.

%C All the squares are in this sequence.

%C Differs from A001481 \ {0} and A248151 from a(17) = 36 on. The number 0 is in the sequence according to its definition. - _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 22 2019

%e 5 is in the sequence because x^2-5*y^2=5 has integer solutions, including (x,y) = (5,2) and (85,38).
