Comments

a(n) gives the values of y satisfying 3*x^2 - y^2 = 363; corresponding x values are given by A296795.

a(n)/3 is the radius of the inscribed circle.

Examples

			If the sides are 17, 28, 39 the triangle has the altitude 15 against 28 and is a part of the Pythagorean triangle with the sides 15, 36, 39, so 15 is a term.

Formula

From Colin Barker, Dec 22 2017: (Start)

G.f.: 3*(4 + 5*x + 11*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 4*x^4) / (1 - 4*x^3 + x^6).

a(n) = 4*a(n-3) - a(n-6) for n>5.
