%N a(n) = 3*T(A285984(n)), where T(m) is the m-th triangular number A000217(m).

%C This sequence a(n) gives the solutions x of the 3rd degree Diophantine Bachet-Mordell equation y^2=x^3+K, with y = T(b(n))*sqrt(27*T(b(n))+1) = A286036(n) and K = (T(b(n)))^2 = A286037(n), the square of the triangular number of b(n)= A285984(n).

%F Since b(n) = 264*sqrt(27*T(b(n-2))+1)+ b(n-4) = 264*sqrt(27*(b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4), with b(-2)=110, b(-1)=0, b(0)=0, b(1)=110 (see A285984) and a(n) = 3*T(b(n)) (this sequence), one has :

%F a(n) = 3*[264*sqrt(27*(b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4) ]*[ 264*sqrt(27*(b(n-2)*(b(n-2)+1)/2)+1)+ b(n-4)+1]/2.

%F Empirical g.f.: 495*x*(37 + 388*x + 37*x^2) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 970*x + x^2)*(1 + 970*x + x^2)). - _Colin Barker_, May 01 2017

%e For n = 2, b(n) = 374, a(n)= 210375.

%e For n = 3, b(n) = A285984(n) =107184. Therefore, a(n) = 3*T(b(n)) = 3*A000217(A285984(n)) = 3*A000217(107184) = 3*5744258520=17232775560.
