COMMENTS

Also positive integers y in the solutions to 5*x^2 - 6*y^2 - 5*x + 6*y = 0, the corresponding values of x being A133285.

The numbers (as opposed to the indices) are A133141.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (23,-23,1).

FORMULA

a(n) = 23*a(n-1)-23*a(n-2)+a(n-3).

G.f.: -x*(x^2-12*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^2-22*x+1)).

a(n) = 1/2+1/24*(11+2*sqrt(30))^(-n)*(6+sqrt(30)-(-6+sqrt(30))*(11+2*sqrt(30))^(2*n)). - Colin Barker, Mar 03 2016

EXAMPLE

11 is in the sequence because the 11th centered hexagonal number is 331, which is also the 12th centered pentagonal number.

PROG

(PARI) Vec(-x*(x^2-12*x+1)/((x-1)*(x^2-22*x+1)) + O(x^100))
