Comments

Numbers a(n) which are the square of triangular number T(b(n)), where b(n) is the sequence A006451(n) of numbers n such that T(n)+1 is a square.

This sequence a(n) gives also the parameters K of the 3rd degree Diophantine Bachet-Mordell equation y^2=x^3+K, with x= T(b(n)) = A006454(n) and y= T(b(n))* sqrt(T(b(n))+1) = A285955(n).

Also: a(n) = (A000217(A006451(n)))^2 or a(n) = A006454(n)^2.

Formula

Since b(n) = 8*sqrt(T(b(n-2))+1)+ b(n-4) = 8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4), with b(-1)=-1, b(0)=0, b(1)=2, b(2)=5 (see A006451) and a(n) = T(b(n)) (this sequence), one has :

a(n) = ([8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4)]*[ 8*sqrt((b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4)+1]/2)^2.

Empirical g.f.: 9*x*(1 + 24*x + 387*x^2 + 864*x^3 + 387*x^4 + 24*x^5 + x^6) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 34*x + x^2)*(1 - 6*x + x^2)*(1 + 6*x + x^2)*(1 + 34*x + x^2)). - Colin Barker, Apr 30 2017

Example

For n=2, b(n)=5, a(n)=225.
For n=5, b(n)=90, a(n)= 16769025.
For n = 3, A006451(n) = 15. Therefore, A000217(A006451(n)) = A000217(15) = 120 and (A000217(A006451(n)))^2 = (A000217(15))^2 = (120)^2 = 14400.
