A309009 Numbers that are both triangular and octahedral. 1

COMMENTS
Similar to the list of triangular and tetrahedral numbers (A027568). It would appear that the similar sequence of pentagonal-dodecahedral numbers contains only the trivial cases 0 and 1.
Terms n*(n+1)/2 = m*(2*m^2+1)/3 corresponds to integral points (X,Y) = (12*m,36*n+18) on the elliptic curve Y^2 = X^3 + 72*X + 324, which can be computed efficiently. There are none besides those already listed. - Max Alekseyev, Feb 12 2024
