%N Indices of centered octagonal numbers (A016754) which are also centered triangular numbers (A005448).

%C Also positive integers y in the solutions to 3*x^2 - 8*y^2 - 3*x + 8*y = 0, the corresponding values of x being A253673.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,98,-98,-1,1).

%F a(n) = a(n-1)+98*a(n-2)-98*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).

%F G.f.: -x*(x^2-5*x+1)*(x^2+14*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^2-10*x+1)*(x^2+10*x+1)).

%e 10 is in the sequence because the 10th centered octagonal number is 361, which is also the 16th centered triangular number.
