%N Indices of centered pentagonal numbers (A005891) which are also squares (A000290).
%C Also positive integers y in the solutions to 2*x^2 - 5*y^2 + 5*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of x being A129557.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,38,-38,-1,1).
%F a(n) = a(n-1) + 38*a(n-2) - 38*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5).
%F G.f.: x*(2*x^3 + 19*x^2 - 2*x - 1) / ((x-1)*(x^2 - 6*x - 1)*(x^2 + 6*x - 1)).
%e 3 is in the sequence because the 3rd centered pentagonal number is 16, which is also the 4th square number.
