Sophie Germain triangular numbers are one of an infinite number of triangular number sets tr where 2*tn^2*tr + tn is a triangular number: tr and tn both also being triangular numbers with tn being held constant. For the present numbers, a(n) = tr, 8*(2*tr + 1) + 1 = 16*tr + 9 is also a square, the square root of which is 2*y+1 with y being the argument of the triangular number 2*tr + 1. Now (1/2)*(y^2+y) = a^2 + a + 1 from the definition of Sophie Germain triangular numbers. Multiply both sides by 4 and subtract 3 to get 2*y^2 + 2*y - 3 = 4*a^2 + 4*a + 1 (a square). Cf. A124124: Numbers y such that 2*y^2 + 2*y - 3 is a square. The values y are the same y such that 2*y+1 = sqrt(16*tr + 9). - Kenneth J Ramsey, Jun 25 2011
Values of k such that 2*k+1 and 9*k+1 are both triangular numbers. - Colin Barker, Jun 29 2016

FORMULA

a(n) = 35*(a(n-2) - a(n-4)) + a(n-6).
From Peter Pein, Dec 04 2006: (Start)
a(n) = -11/32 + (-3 - 2*sqrt(2))^n/64 + (5*(3 - 2*sqrt(2))^n)/32 + (-3 - 2*sqrt(2))^n/(32*sqrt(2)) - (5*(3 - 2*sqrt(2))^n)/(32*sqrt(2)) + (-3 + 2*sqrt(2))^n/64 - (-3 + 2*sqrt(2))^n/(32*sqrt(2)) + (5*(3 + 2*sqrt(2))^n)/32 + (5*(3 + 2*sqrt(2))^n)/(32*sqrt(2));
O.g.f.: (x*(1 + 9*x + x^2))/((1 - x)*(1 - 6*x + x^2)*(1 + 6*x + x^2));
E.g.f.: (-22*exp(x) + exp(-3*x+2*x*sqrt(2))*(1-sqrt(2)) - 5*exp(3*x-2*x*sqrt(2))*(-2 + sqrt(2)) + exp(-3*x-2*x*sqrt(2))*(1+sqrt(2)) + 5*exp(3*x+2*x*sqrt(2))*(2+sqrt(2)))/64. (End)
a(n) = a(n-1) + 34*a(n-2) - 34*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5) with a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=10, a(3)=45, a(4)=351. - Harvey P. Dale, Sep 28 2011
a(n+2) = 1/2*((3/2*sqrt(8*a(n) + 1) + sqrt(16*a(n) + 9) - 1/2)*(3/2*sqrt(8*a(n) + 1) + sqrt(16*a(n) + 9) + 1/2)); a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1. - Raphie Frank, Jan 29 2013
