Comments

Nonnegative values of m are listed in A047274.

Also, numbers h such that 7*h + 9 is a square.

Equivalently, numbers of the form i*(7*i - 6) with i = 0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, ...

Infinitely many squares belong to this sequence.

Generalized 16-gonal (or hexadecagonal) numbers. See the third comment. - Omar E. Pol, Jun 06 2018

Exponents in expansion of Product_{n >= 1} (1 + x^(14*n-13))*(1 + x^(14*n-1))*(1 - x^(14*n)) = 1 + x + x^13 + x^16+ x^40 + .... - Peter Bala, Dec 10 2020

Formula

O.g.f.: x^2*(1 + 12*x + x^2)/((1 + x)^2*(1 - x)^3).

E.g.f.: (5*(2*x + 1)*exp(-x) + (14*x^2 - 5)*exp(x))/8.

a(n) = (14*(n-1)*n - 5*(2*n-1)*(-1)^n - 5)/8.

a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n >= 6. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 18 2020

Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = (7 + 6*Pi*cot(Pi/7))/36. - Amiram Eldar, Feb 28 2022

Example

88 is in the sequence because 88 = 22*(22+6)/7 or also 88 = 4*(7*4-6).
