%N Triangular numbers of the form k^2 + 3.

%C There exist triangular numbers of the form k^2 + j for j=0 (A001110), j=1 (A164055), j=2 (A214838), and j=3 (this sequence), but not for j=4,7,8,13,16,18,... (A328792).

%F a(1) = 3, a(2) = 28; for n > 2, a(n) = 34*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - 46.

%o limit = 10**7 # rough limit for k
