COMMENTS
Also positive integers y in the solutions to 3*x^2 - 7*y^2 - 3*x + 7*y = 0, the corresponding values of x being A253476.
FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1)+110*a(n-2)-110*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).
G.f.: -x*(x^4+9*x^3-74*x^2+9*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^4-110*x^2+1)).
EXAMPLE
10 is in the sequence because the 10th centered heptagonal number is 316, which is also the 15th centered triangular number.
