Comments

k is in this sequence iff A078926(k) > 0.

Also, ordered sides c of primitive triples (a, b, c) for integer-sided triangles where side a is the harmonic mean of the 2 other sides b and c, i.e., 2/a = 1/b + 1/c with b < a < c (A343893). - Bernard Schott, May 06 2021

a(n) are the ordered radii of inscribed circles in squares, from which the tangents to the circles are cut off by primitive Pythagorean triangles. - Alexander M. Domashenko, Oct 17 2024
