Comments

X values of solutions to the equation 10*X^3 + X^2 = Y^2.

Polygonal number connection: 2*H_n + 6S_n, where H_n is the n-th hexagonal number and S_n is the n-th square number. This is the base formula that is expanded upon to achieve the full series. See contributing formula below. - William A. Tedeschi, Sep 12 2010

Equivalently, numbers of the form 2*h*(5*h+1), where h = 0, -1, 1, -2, 2, -3, 3, -4, 4, ... . - Bruno Berselli, Feb 02 2017
