			For n = 1, p = 5, x=9, y=4 since 9^2 = 5*4^2 + 1, so a(1) = 4.

Comments

For many values of k for the equation y^2 = x^3 + k, all the solutions are known. For example, we have solutions for k=-2: (x,y) = (3,-5) and (3,5). A complete resolution for all integers k is unknown. Theorem: Let k be < -1, free of square factors, with k == 2 or 3 (mod 4). Suppose that the number of classes h(Q(sqrt(k))) is not divisible by 3. Then the equation y^2 = x^3 + k admits integer solutions if and only if k = 1 - 3a^2 or 1 - 3a^2 where a is an integer. In this case, the solutions are x = a^2 - k, y = a(a^2 + 3k) or -a(a^2 + 3k) (the first reference gives the proof of this theorem). With k = -1 - 3a^2, we obtain the solutions x = 4a^2 + 1, y = a(8a^2 + 3) or -a(8a^2 + 3). For the case k = 1 - 3a^2, we obtain the solution x = 4a^2 - 1 given by the sequence A000466.

Examples

			With a=3, x = 35 and y = 207, and then 207^2 = 35^2 - 26.
