COMMENTS
Also positive integers x in the solutions to 5*x^2 - 4*y^2 - 3*x + 4*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of y being A254229.
FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1)+322*a(n-2)-322*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).
G.f.: -x*(x^4+40*x^3-178*x^2+40*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^2-18*x+1)*(x^2+18*x+1)).
EXAMPLE
41 is in the sequence because the 41st heptagonal number is 4141, which is also the 46th centered square number.
PROG
(PARI) Vec(-x*(x^4+40*x^3-178*x^2+40*x+1)/((x-1)*(x^2-18*x+1)*(x^2+18*x+1)) + O(x^100))
