%N Indices of centered octagonal numbers (A016754) which are also triangular numbers (A000217).
%C Also positive integers y in the solutions to x^2 - 8*y^2 + x + 8*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of x being A008843.
%C Also the indices of centered octagonal numbers (A016754) which are also hexagonal numbers (A000384). Also positive numbers y in the solutions to 4x^2-8y^2-2x+8y-2=0. - _Colin Barker_, Jan 25 2015
