Also values x of Pythagorean triples (x, x+439, y).
Corresponding values y of solutions (x, y) are in A159890.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (443+42*sqrt(2))/439 for n mod 3 = {1, 2}.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (450483+287918*sqrt(2))/439^2 for n mod 3 = 0.

FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3)-a(n-6)+878 for n > 6; a(1)=0, a(2)=44, a(3)=1121, a(4)=1317, a(5)=1541, a(6)=7644.
G.f.: x*(44+1077*x+196*x^2-40*x^3-359*x^4-40*x^5) / ((1-x)*(1-6*x^3+x^6)).
a(3*k+1) = 439*A001652(k) for k >= 0.
