This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

The triangular numbers T(t) that are eight times another triangular number T(u) : T(t) = 8*T(u). The t's are in A336625, the T(u)'s are in A336624 and the u's are in A336623.
Can be defined for negative n by setting a(n) = a(-1-n) for all n in Z.

Examples

			a(2) = 120 is a term because it is triangular and 120/8 = 15 is also triangular.
a(3) = 1154*a(1) - a(-1) + 648 = 0 - 120 + 648 = 528;
a(4) = 1154*a(2) - a(0) + 648 = 1154*120 - 0 + 648 = 139128, etc.

Let t(i) and u(j) be the indices of triangular numbers that satisfy the Diophantine relation T(u(j)) = n*T(t(i)) for some integers i and j. The number of solutions (t(i), u(j)) of T(u(j)) = n*T(t(i)) is 0 or 1 for square n, and an infinity for nonsquare n.
For square n, a(n) is arbitrarily set to 0.
For nonsquare n, a(n) is the index r in the sequence of t(i) and u(j) such that t(r) + t(r-1) = u(r) - u(r-1) - 1.
Alternatively, for nonsquare n, a(n) is the index r such that the ratio t(i)/t(i-r) is decreasing monotonically without jumps for increasing values of i.
Alternatively, for n > 4, a(n) is the index r such that the ratio t(r)/t(r-1) varies between (s+1)/(s-1) and (s+2)/s, with s = [sqrt(n)], where [x] = floor(x).
Alternatively, for nonsquare n, a(n) is the number of fundamental solutions (X_f, Y_f) of the generalized Pell equation X^2 - n*Y^2 = 1 - n providing odd solutions, i.e., with X_f odd and Y_f odd (or Y_f even if y_f is odd, where y_f is the fundamental solution of the associated simple Pell equation x^2 - n*y^2 = 1).

Examples

			The following table gives the first values of nonsquare n and a(n) and the sequences yielding the values of t, u, T(t) and T(u) such that T(u) = n*T(t).
n       2       3       5       6       7       8      10
a(n)    1       1       2       2       2       2       3
t    A053141 A061278 A077259 A077288 A077398 A336623  A341893*
u    A001652 A001571 A077262 A077291 A077401 A336625* A341895*
T(t) A075528 A076139 A077260 A077289 A077399 A336624  A068085*
T(u) A029549 A076140 A077261 A077290 A077400 A336626*   -
With a(n) = r, the definition t(r) + t(r-1) = u(r) - u(r-1) - 1 yields:
- For n = 2, a(n) = 1: A053141(1) + A053141(0) = A001652(1) - A001652(0) - 1, i.e., 2 + 0 = 3 + 0 - 1 = 2.
- For n = 5, a(n) = 2: A077259(2) + A077259(1) = A077262(2) - A077262(1) - 1, i.e., 6 + 2 = 14 - 5 - 1 = 8.
- For n = 10, a(n) = 3: A341893(3+1*) + A341893(2+1*) = A341895(3+1*) - A341895(2+1*) - 1, i.e., 12 + 6 = 39 - 20 - 1 = 18.
Note that for those sequences marked with an *, the first term 0 appears for n = 1, contrary to all the other sequences, where the first term 0 appears for n = 0; the numbering must therefore be adapted and 1 must be added to compensate for this shift in indices.
The monotonic decrease of t(i)/t(i-r) can be seen also as:
- For n = 2, a(n) = 1: for 1 <= i <= 6, A053141(i)/A053141(i-1) decreases monotonically from 7 to 5.829.
- For n = 5, a(n) = 2: for 3 <= i <= 8, A077259(i)/A077259(i-2) decreases monotonically from 22 to 17.948, while A077259(i)/A077259(i-1) takes values alternatively varying between 3 and 2.618 and between 7.333 and 6.855.
- For n = 10, a(n) = 3: for 4 <= i <= 10, A341893(i)/A341893(i-3) decreases monotonically from 55 to 38, while A077259(i) / A077259(i-1) takes values alternatively varying between 6 and 4.44 and between 2 and 1.925.
For n > 4, the relation (s+1)/(s-1) <=  t(r)/t(r-1) <= (s+2)/s, with s = [sqrt(n)], yields:
- For n = 5, a(n) = 2: A077259(2)/A077259(1) = 6/2 = 3, and s = [sqrt(5)] = 2, (s+1)/(s-1) = 3 and (s+2)/s = 2.
- For n = 10, a(n) = 3: A077259(3+1*)/A077259(2+1*) = 12/6 = 2, and s = [sqrt(10)] = 3, (s+1)/(s-1) = 2 and (s+2)/s = 5/3 = 1.667.
Finally, the number of fundamental solutions of the generalized Pell equation is as follows.
- For n = 2, X^2 - 2*Y^2 = -1 has a single fundamental solution, (X_f, Y_f) = (1, 1), and the rank a(n) is 1.
- For n = 5, X^2 - 5*Y^2 = -4 has two fundamental solutions, (X_f, Y_f) = (1, 1) and (-1, 1), and the rank a(n) is 2.
- For n = 10, X^2 - 10*Y^2 = -9 has three fundamental solutions, (X_f, Y_f) = (1, 1), (-1, 1), and (9, 3), and the rank a(n) is 3.
