Comments

The corresponding x solutions are given in A254758.

The other part of the proper (sometimes called primitive) solutions are given in (A254757(n), A220414(n)) for n >= 1.

The improper positive solutions come from 7*(x(n), y(n)) with the positive proper solutions of the Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = -1 given in (A001653(n-1), A002315(n)), for n >= 1.

Formula

a(n) = irrational part of z(n), where z(n) = (1+5*sqrt(2))*(3+2*sqrt(2))^n, n >= 0.

G.f.: (5-13*x)/(1-6*x+x^2).

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n >= 1, with a(-1) = 13 and a(0) = 5.

a(n) = 5*S(n, 6) - 13*S(n-1, 6), n >= 0, with Chebyshev's S-polynomials evaluated at x = 6 (see A049310).

Example

A254758(3)^2 - 2*a(3)^2 = 799^2 - 2*565^2 = -49.
See also A254758 for the first pairs of solutions.
