This sequence gives all positive solutions x = x1 = a(n) of the first class of the (generalized) Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = -7. For the corresponding y1 terms see 2*A038723(n). All positive solutions of the second class are given by (x2(n), y2(n)) = (A255236(n), A038725(n+1)), n >= 0. See (A254938(1), 2*A255232(1)) for the fundamental solution (1, 2) of the first class. See the Nagell reference, Theorem 111, p. 210, Theorem 110, p. 208, Theorem 108a, pp. 206-207.
This sequence also gives all positive solutions y = y1 of the first class of the Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = 14. The corresponding solutions x1 are given in 4*A038723. This follows from the preceding comment. (End)

This follows from the general trivial fact that if X^2 - D*Y^2 = N (X, Y positive integers, D > 1, not a square, and N a non-vanishing integer) then x:= D*Y +/- X and y:= Y +/- X (correlated signs) satisfy x^2 - D*y^2 = -(D-1)*N. with integers x and y. Here D = 2 and N = 7. (End)

A floretion-generated sequence relating to NSW numbers and numbers n such that (n^2 - 8)/2 is a square. It is also possible to label this sequence as the "tesfor-transform of the zero-sequence" under the floretion given in the program code, below. This is because the sequence "vesseq" would normally have been A046184 (indices of octagonal numbers which are also a square) using the floretion given. This floretion, however, was purposely "altered" in such a way that the sequence "vesseq" would turn into A000004. As (a(n)) would not have occurred under "natural" circumstances, one could speak of it as the transform of A000004.
Floretion Algebra Multiplication Program FAMP code: - tesforseq[ + 3'i - 2'j + 'k + 3i' - 2j' + k' - 4'ii' - 3'jj' + 4'kk' - 'ij' - 'ji' + 3'jk' + 3'kj' + 4e], Note: vesforseq = A000004, lesforseq = A002315, jesforseq = A077445

All positive solutions x = a(n) of the (generalized) Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = +7 based on the  fundamental solution (x2,y2) = (5,3) of the second class of (proper) solutions. The corresponding y solutions are given by y(n) = A253811(n).
All other positive solutions come from the first class of (proper) solutions based on the fundamental solution (x1,y1) = (3,1). These are given in A038762 and A038761.
All solutions of this Pell equation are found in A077443(n+1) and A077442(n), for n >= 0. See, e.g., the Nagell reference on how to find all solutions.

Positive values of x (or y) satisfying x^2 - 6xy + y^2 + 56 = 0. - Colin Barker, Feb 08 2014
From Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 05 2015: (Start)
a(n+1) gives for n >= 0 all positive x solutions of the (generalized) Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = +7.
The corresponding y solutions are given in A077442(n), n >= 0. The, e.g., the Nagell reference for finding all solutions.
Because the primitive Pythagorean triangle (3,4,5) is the only one with the sum of legs equal to 7 all positive solutions (x(n),y(n)) = (a(n+1),A077442(n)) of the Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = +7 satisfy x(n) - y(n) < y(n) if n >= 1; only the first solution (x(0),y(0)) = (3,2) satisfies 3-1 > 1. Proof: Primitive Pythagorean triangles are characterized by the positive integer pairs [u,v] with  u+v odd, gcd(u,v) = 1 and u > v. See the Niven et al. reference, Theorem 5.5, p. 232. The leg sum is L = (u+v)^2 - 2*v^2. With L = 7, x = u+v and y = v, every solution (x(n),y(n)) with x(n)-y(n) = u(n) > v(n) = y(n) will correspond to a primitive Pythagorean triangle. Note that because of gcd(x,y) = 1 also gcd(u,v) = 1. But there is only one such triangle with L=7, namely the one with  [u(0),v(0)] = [2,1]. All other solutions with n >= 1 must therefore satisfy x(n)-y(n) < y(n). (End)

For each positive integer n, there exists a unique pair (j,k) of positive integers such that (j + k + 1)^2 - 4*k = 8*n^2; in fact, j(n) = A087056(n) and k(n) = A087059(n).
Suppose g >= 1 and let k = k(g). The numbers in row g of array D are among those n for which (j + k + 1)^2 - 4*k = 8*n^2 for some j; that is, k stays fixed and j and n vary - hence the name "fixed-k dispersion". (The fixed-j dispersion for Q = 8 is A120860.)
Every positive integer occurs exactly once in array D and every pair of rows are mutually interspersed. That is, beginning at the first term of any row having greater initial term than that of another row, all the following terms individually separate the individual terms of the other row.

Define f(n) = 3*n + 2*floor(n*sqrt(2)) + 2. Let D(g,h) be the term in row g and column h of the array to be defined:
D(1,1) = 1; D(1,2) = f(1); and D(1,h) = 6*D(1,h-1) - D(1,h-2) for h >= 3.
For arbitrary g >= 1, once row g is defined, define D(g+1,1) = least positive integer not in rows 1,2,...,g; D(g+1,2) = f(D(g+1,1)); and D(g+1,h) = 6*D(g+1,h-1) - D(g+1,h-2) for h >= 3. All rows after row 1 are thus inductively defined. [Corrected by Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 07 2020]

a(n)/A266504(n) converges to sqrt(2).
Alternatively, bisection of A266506.
Alternatively, A135532(n) and A048655(n) interlaced.

Let b(n) = (a(n) - (a(n) mod 2))/2, that is b(n) = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 2, 5, 6, 13, 15, 32, 37, 78, 90, ...}. Then:
A006451(n) = {b(4n+0) U b(4n+1)} gives n in N such that triangular(n) + 1 is square;
A216134(n) = {b(4n+2) U b(4n+3)} gives n in N such that triangular(n) follows form n^2 + n + 1 (twice a triangular number + 1).
