%N A120210 Integer squares y from the smallest solutions of y^2 = x*(a^N - x)*(b^N + x) (elliptic line, Weierstrass equation) with a and b legs in primitive Pythagorean triangles and N = 2. Sequence ordered in increasing values of leg a.
%C A120210 The case x congruent to 0 mod b or b congruent to 0 mod x is frequent (e.g., A120212). Note that the triples a = 3, b = 4, c = 5 and a = 4, b = 3, c = 5 provide a different result for (x, y).
%C A120210 The natural solution is y = c * b * (c-b) and x = b * (c-b) with c hypotenuse in the triple. - _Giorgio Balzarotti_, Jul 19 2006
