COMMENTS
All terms are Lucas numbers (A000032).
Corresponding indices of centered 40-gonal numbers are listed in A351354.
FORMULA
a(n) = A000032(A007310(n)).
G.f.: x*(1 + 11*x + 11*x^2 + x^3)/((1 + 4*x - x^2)*(1 - 4*x - x^2)). - Stefano Spezia, Feb 12 2022
EXAMPLE
29 is in the sequence because 29^2 = 841 is a centered 40-gonal number (the 3rd centered 40-gonal number).
3571^2 = 12752041 is a centered 40-gonal number (the 799th centered 40-gonal number). Hence 3571 is in the sequence.
MAPLE
