%N Numbers k such that 27*T(k)+1 is a square, where T(m) is the m-th triangular number A000217(m).

%C Numbers a(n) that make sqrt(27*T(a(n))+1) an integer.

%C This sequence a(n) gives also the indices of the triangular numbers T(a(n)) such that the 3rd degree Diophantine Bachet-Mordell equation y^2 = x^3+K holds with x = 3*T(a(n)) = A286035(n), y = T(a(n))* sqrt(27*T(a(n))+1) = A286036(n) and K = T(a(n))^2 = A286037(n).

%e k = 110 is a term because 27*(T(110) + 1) = 27 * (110*111/2 + 1) is a square. - _David A. Corneth_, May 02 2017

%e For n = 2, a(2) = 264*sqrt(27*(a(0)*(a(0)+1)/2)+1)+ a(-2) = 264*sqrt(27*(0*(0+1)/2)+1) + 110 = 374.
