%N Indices of octagonal numbers (A000567) that are also centered heptagonal numbers (A069099).
%C Also positive integers x in the solutions to 6*x^2 - 7*y^2 - 4*x + 7*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of y being A254856.

%F a(n) = a(n-1)+26*a(n-2)-26*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).
%F G.f.: -x*(x^4+x^3-12*x^2+x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^4-26*x^2+1)).
%e 16 is in the sequence because the 16th octagonal number is 736, which is also the 15th centered heptagonal number.
