Comments

Discriminant = 48. Class = 2. Binary quadratic forms a*x^2+b*x*y+c*y^2 have discriminant d=b^2-4ac and gcd(a,b,c)=1.

Values of the quadratic form are {0,3,8,11} mod 12, so all values with the exception of 3 are also in A068231. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 30 2008

Is this the same sequence (apart from the initial 3) as A068231?

Example

a(3)=23 because we can write 23= -1^2+6*1*2+3*2^2 (or 23=8*1^2+12*1*1+3*1^2).
