It is well known that T(m) + k*T(m+1) is always a square for k=1. For k=3, the nonnegative values of m are the terms of A278310.
Square roots of T(m) + 2*T(m+1) are listed by A168520 (after 0).
Negative values of m for which T(m) + 2*T(m+1) is a square: -1, -2, -82, -7922, -776162, ...

FORMULA

O.g.f.: x*(7 + 106*x - x^2)/((1 - x)*(1 - 98*x + x^2)).
E.g.f.: (exp((5-2*sqrt(6))^2*x) + exp((5+2*sqrt(6))^2*x) - 14*exp(x))/12 + 1.
a(n) = 99*a(n-1) - 99*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>3.
a(n) = 98*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 112 for n>2.
a(n) = a(-n) = ((5 + 2*sqrt(6))^(2*n) + (5 - 2*sqrt(6))^(2*n))/12 - 7/6.
a(n) = A001079(2*n)/6 - 7/6.
a(n) = 2*A001078(n)^2 - 1 = A122652(n)^2/2 - 1.
a(n) = -A278620(n+1) + 106*A278620(n) + 7*A278620(n-1).
Lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (5 + 2*sqrt(6))^2.
