Also positive integers y in the solutions to 6*x^2-5*y^2+4*x+3*y+2 = 0, the corresponding values of x being A252585.
FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1)+482*a(n-2)-482*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).
G.f.: -x*(x^4+11*x^3-413*x^2+253*x+4) / ((x-1)*(x^2-22*x+1)*(x^2+22*x+1)).
EXAMPLE
4 is in the sequence because H(4) = 23 = 12+22 = P(3)+P(4).
PROG
(PARI) Vec(-x*(x^4+11*x^3-413*x^2+253*x+4)/((x-1)*(x^2-22*x+1)*(x^2+22*x+1)) + O(x^100))
