%N A216869 The smallest non-constant arithmetic progression of integer squares of maximal length three.
%C A216869 Bremner (2012): "Euler showed that the length of the longest arithmetic progression (AP) of integer squares is equal to three. [See Dickson.] Xarles (2011) investigated APs in number fields, and proved the existence of an upper bound K(d) for the maximal length of an AP of squares in a number field of degree d. He shows that K(2) = 5." See A216870.
