Centered hexagonal numbers (A003215) with index in A145607. Example: 35 is a member of A145607, therefore A003215(35) = 3781 is a term of this sequence.
Also, centered 10-gonal numbers (A062786) with index in A182432. Example: 28 is a member of A182432 and A062786(28) = 3781.
a(n) is a solution to the Pell equation (4*a(n))^2 - 15*b(n)^2 = 1. The corresponding b(n) are A258684(n). - Klaus Purath, Jul 19 2025

a(n) = a(-1-n).
a(n) = cosh((2*n + 1)*arccosh(4))/4.
a(n) = ((4 + sqrt(15))^(2*n + 1) + 1/(4 + sqrt(15))^(2*n + 1))/8.
a(n) = (1/4)*T(2*n+1, 4), where T(n,x) denotes the n-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. - Peter Bala, Jul 08 2022
