%N Indices of centered 11-gonal numbers (A060544) that are also 11-gonal numbers (A051682).

%C Also positive integers y in the solutions to 9*x^2 - 11*y^2 - 7*x + 11*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of x being A280071.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (21,-21,1).

%F a(n) = (6 - (3+sqrt(11))*(10+3*sqrt(11))^(-n) + (-3+sqrt(11))*(10+3*sqrt(11))^n)/12.

%F a(n) = 21*a(n-1) - 21*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>3.

%F G.f.: x*(1 - 10*x) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 20*x + x^2)).

%e 11 is in the sequence because the 11th centered 11-gonal number is 606, which is also the 12th 11-gonal number.
