cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A253724 Numbers c(n) whose squares are equal to the sums of a number M(n) of consecutive cubed integers b^3 + (b+1)^3 + ... + (b+M-1)^3 = c^2, starting at b(n) (A002593) for M(n) being twice a squared integer (A001105).

Numbers c(n) such that b^3 + (b+1)^3 + ... + (b+M-1)^3 = c^2 has nontrivial solutions over the integers for M(n) being twice a squared integer (A001105) and b(n)=(A002593).
If M is twice a squared integer, there always exists at least one nontrivial solution for the sum of M consecutive cubed integers starting at b^3 and equaling to a squared integer c^2. For n>=1, M(n)= 2n^2 (A001105), b(n) = M(M-1)/2 = n^2(2n^2 - 1) (A002593), and c(n)= sqrt(M/2) (M(M^2-1)/2)= n^3(4n^4 - 1) (this sequence).
The trivial solutions with M < 1 and b < 2 are not considered here.

Examples

			For n=2, M(n)=8, b(n)=28, c(n)=504.
