COMMENTS
The terms are consecutive pairs, ordered so that (A) a(2i-1) < a(2i) for i > 0, and (B) a(2i+1) < a(2i+3) for i >= 0. This sequence has primitive solutions only. If k is relatively prime to all of the terms in a primitive pair, then multiplying the terms in that pair by k gives another solution - see A134922. In Burton's book (see references), problem 3 in section 7.2 asks the reader to prove a special case for (568,638).
