The identity (10368*n^2 - 4896*n + 577)^2 - (36*n^2 - 17*n + 2)*(1728*n - 408)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A157265(n)*A157266(n)^2 = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jan 27 2012
This is the case s=4n-1 of the identity (2*r^2 - 1)^2 - ((r^2 - 1)/144)*(24r)^2 = 1, where r = 18*s + 9*i^(s*(s+1)) - (-1)^s - 9 and i=sqrt(-1). - Bruno Berselli, Jan 29 2012
