Consider primitive Pythagorean triangles (A^2 + B^2 = C^2, (A, B) = 1, A < B); sequence gives values of B, sorted.
Any term in this sequence is given by f(m,n) = 2*m*n or g(m,n) = m^2 - n^2 where m and n are any two positive integers, m > 1, n < m, the greatest common divisor of m and n is 1, m and n are not both odd; e.g., f(m,n) = f(2,1) = 2*2*1 = 4. - Agola Kisira Odero, Apr 29 2016
Also, ordered sides a of primitive triples (a, b, c) for integer-sided triangles where side a is the harmonic mean of the 2 other sides b and c, i.e., 2/a = 1/b + 1/c with b < a < c.
Example: a(2) = 12, because the second triple is (12, 10, 15) with side a = 12, satisfying 2/12 = 1/10 + 1/15 and 15-12 < 10 < 15+12.
The first term appearing twice 420 corresponds to triples (420, 310, 651) and (420, 406, 435), the second one is 572 = a(101) = a(102) = A024410(2) and corresponds to triples (572, 407, 962) and (572, 455, 770). The terms that appear more than once in this sequence are in A024410.
For the corresponding primitive triples and miscellaneous properties and references, see A343891. (End)
