Comments

Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+199, y).

Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A159548.

For the generic case x^2+(x+p)^2 = y^2 with p = 2*m^2-1 a (prime) number in A066436 see A118673 or A129836.

Lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).

Lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (201+20*sqrt(2))/199 for n mod 3 = {1, 2}.

Lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (91443+58282*sqrt(2))/199^2 for n mod 3 = 0.
