%N Solution S of (2*u)^2 = R^2 - p*S^2, where p is the n-th prime of the form 4k+1.

%C p = A002144(n), u = A215615(p), and R = A215656(n).

%C A215615 is computed from Wendt's circulant determinant A048954.

%C Brown and Chamberland (2012, p. 600) give explicit formulas for u, R, S.

%F a(n) = sqrt((R^2 - 4*u^2)/p) with R = A215656(n), p = A002144(n), u = A215615(p).

%e 2*A215615(5) = 2*11 = 22 and 22^2 = 147^2 - 5*65^2, so a(1) = 65.
