Inspired by A274579.

a(n+1) / a(n) goes to 49 + 20*sqrt(6) when n goes to infinity.

Formula

From Colin Barker, Jun 30 2016: (Start)

a(n) = 99*a(n-1)-99*a(n-2)+a(n-3) for n>3.

G.f.: 45*x / ((1-x)*(1-98*x+x^2)).

(End)

Example

45 is a term because 2*45 + 1 = 91 and 3*45 + 1 = 136 are both triangular numbers.
