%N A203629 Indices of 10-gonal (decagonal) numbers which are also 9-gonal (nonagonal).
%C A203629 As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim(n->Infinity, a(n)/a(n-1)) = (2*sqrt(2)+sqrt(7))^4 = 449+120*sqrt(14).
%H A203629 <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (899, -899, 1).
%F A203629 G.f.: x*(1-348*x+11*x^2) / ((1-x)*(1-898*x+x^2)).
%F A203629 a(n) = 898*a(n-1)-a(n-2)-336.
%F A203629 a(n) = 899*a(n-1)-899*a(n-2)+a(n-3).
%F A203629 a(n) = 1/112*((sqrt(7)+7*sqrt(2))*(2*sqrt(2)+sqrt(7))^(4*n-3)-(sqrt(7)-7*sqrt(2))*(2*sqrt(2)-sqrt(7))^(4*n-3)+42).
%F A203629 a(n) = ceiling(1/112*(sqrt(7)+7*sqrt(2))*(2*sqrt(2)+sqrt(7))^(4*n-3)).
%e A203629 The second number that is both 9-gonal (nonagonal) and 10-gonal (decagonal) is A001107(551) = 1212751. Hence a(2) = 551.
