The corresponding solutions y1(n) are given in A307169.
The (generalized) Pell equation x^2 - 7*y^2 = 9 has two proper classes of positive solutions (x1(n), y1(n)) and (x2(n), y2(n)), for n >= 1, where x2 = A307172, and y2 = A307173.
The improper class of nonnegative solutions is given by (xi(n) = 3*X(n), yi(n) = 3*Y(n)), with the nonnegative solutions of the Pell equation X^2 - 7*Y^2 = +1, given by X(n) = A001081(n) and Y(n) = A001080(n), for n >= 0.
The proper positive solutions (x1(n), y1(n)) are given in matrix notation by -R(0)*R(2)*Auto(n)*R^{-1}(6)*(1, 0)^T (T for transposed) with the R-matrix R(t) = Matrix([[0, -1],[1, t]]) and its inverse R^{-1}(t) = Matrix([t, 1],[-1, 0]) and the automorphic matrix Auto = Matrix([2, 9],[3, 14]). The matrix power Auto^n can be given in terms of Chebyshev S-polynomials S(n, x=16) from A077412 as Auto^n = Matrix([S(n, 16) - 14*S(n-1, 16), 9*S(n-1, 16)],[3*S(n-1, 16), S(n, 16) - 2*S(n-1, 16)]).
This results from the reduced principal binary quadratic form F_p = [1, 4, -3] of the non-reduced Pell form FPell = [1, 0, -7], and the primitive representative parallel form FPara1 = [9, 8, 1] for discriminant 4*7 = 28 and the representation of 9. These forms are then connected via equivalence transformations using R(t) matrices.

This is a subsequence of A242662, excluding the primitive forms of discriminant 28 with only improper representations of k, like k = 4, 8, 16, 25, 32, ... .
An indefinite binary quadratic primitive form F = a*x^2 + b*x*y + c*y^2 (gcd(a, b, c) = 1) with discriminant Disc = b^2 - 4*a*c = 28 = 2^2*7 is denoted by [a, b, c], or in matrix notation by MF = Matrix([[a, b/2], [b/2, c]]). Hence F = X*MF*X^T (T for transposed), where X = (x, y). See the two links for details and references.
Properly equivalent forms F' and F are related by a matrix R of determinant +1 like MF' = R^T*MF*R, and X'^T = R^{-1}*X^T.
Each primitive form, properly equivalent to the reduced principal form F_p = [1, 4, -3] for Disc = 28 (used in A242662), represents the given nonnegative k = a(n) values (and only these) properly with X = (x, y) and gcd(x, y) = 1. Modulo an overall sign change in X one can choose x nonnegative.
There are 8 = A082174(8) primitive reduced forms of Disc = 28 leading to 2 = A087048(8) (class number) cycles each of period 4, namely the principal cycle CyP = [[1, 4, -3], [-3, 2, 2], [2, 2, -3], [-3, 4, 1]] and the one (with outer signs flipped) CyP' = [[-1, 4, 3], [3, 2, -2], [-2, 2, 3], [3, 4, -1]].
There are A358947(n) representative parallel primitive forms (rpapfs) of discriminant Disc = 28 for k = a(n). This gives the number of proper fundamental representations X = (x, y), with x >= 0, of each primitive form [a, b, c], properly equivalent to the principal form F_p of Disc = 28.
For the negative integers k properly represented by primitive forms [a, b, c] properly equivalent to the principal form of Disc = 28 see A359476. The corresponding number of fundamental proper representations is given in A359477.
This and the three related sequences originated from a proposal by Klaus Purath proving that the form FKP := [1, -2, -6] of Disc = 28 represents k = k(m) = m^2 - 7 = A028881(m), for m >= 3, with the two fundamental representations X1(m) = (m+1, 1) and X2(m) = (11*m - 29, 3*m - 8). This form FKP is properly equivalent to the principal form F_p with R = Matrix([[1, -3], [0, 1]]). Hence all k = a(n) are represented by the form FKP, and A028881 is a subsequence of the present one.

Examples

			k = 9 = a(3): F = FPell = [1, 0, -7] is properly equivalent to F_p = [1, 4, -3] by two so-called half-reduced right neighbor R(t)-transformations, with the matrix R = R(t) = Matrix([[0, -1], [1, t]]), first with t = 0 then with t = 2. For FPell representing k = 9 with x > 0 and y > 0 see X_1(9, i) = (A307168(i), A307169(i)) and X_2(9, i) = (A307172(i), A307173(i)), for i >= 0. There are also the representations with y -> -y arising from the opposite fundamental solutions.
The 2 = A358947(3) rpapfs are F1 = [9, 8, 1] and F2 = [9, 10, 2]. They lead by proper equivalence transformations to a form of the above given principal cycle CyP. F1 -> [1, 4, -3] = F_p with matrix R(6), and F2 -> [2, 2, -3] with R(3). See the FIGURE, p. 10, of the linked paper.
Besides the primitive forms FPell, F1, F2 and the four forms of CyP also F' = [-7, 0, 1], and all primitive and properly equivalent forms represent k = 9. See the mentioned FIGURE, where FPa1 = F1, FPa1 = F2, Fpa2' = F_p^{(2)} = [2, 2, -3] and FPa2'' = F_p^{(3)} = [-3, 4, 1].
