Comments

The 11-gonal square numbers correspond to the nonnegative integer solutions of the Diophantine equation k*(9*k-7)/2 = m^2, equivalent to (18*k-7)^2 - 72*m^2 = 49. Substituting x = 18*k-7 and y = m gives the Pell equation x^2-72*y^2 = 49. The integer solutions (x,y) = (-7,0), (11,1), (119,14), (1451,171), (11243,1325), ... correspond to the following solutions (k,m) = (0,0), (1,1), (7,14), (81,171), (625,1325), ...

Formula

a(n) = k*(9*k-7)/2 for n > 1, where k = (A106525(4*n-6) + 7)/18. - Jinyuan Wang, Mar 31 2020

Example

1755625 is a term because 625*(9*625-7)/2 = 1325^2 = 1755625; that means that 1755625 is the 625th 11-gonal number and the square of 1325.

Maple
