%N Numbers n such that the sum of the octagonal numbers N(n) and N(n+1) is equal to the sum of the pentagonal numbers P(m) and P(m+1) for some m.

%C Also nonnegative integers x in the solutions to 6*x^2-3*y^2+2*x-2*y = 0, the corresponding values of y being A252004.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1155,-1155,1).

%F a(n) = 1155*a(n-1)-1155*a(n-2)+a(n-3).

%F G.f.: 8*x*(5*x-29) / ((x-1)*(x^2-1154*x+1)).

%F a(n) = (-2 - (sqrt(2)-1)*(577+408*sqrt(2))^(-n) + (sqrt(2)+1)*(577+408*sqrt(2))^n) / 12. - _Colin Barker_, May 30 2017

%e 232 is in the sequence because N(232)+N(233) = 161008+162401 = 323409 = 161212+162197 = P(328)+P(329).
