a(n) =(T(b(n)))^2, parameters K=a(n) of the Bachet Mordell equation y^2=x^3+K, with x= 3*T(b(n)) and y= T(b(n))*sqrt(27*T(b(n))+1), where T(b(n)) is the triangular number of b(n)= A285984(n).

FORMULA
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) = (T(b(n)))^2 (this sequence), one has :
a(n) = ([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)^2.
