%N Indices of pentagonal numbers that are also heptagonal.

%C As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim_{n->infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (4+sqrt(15))^2 = 31 + 8*sqrt(15). - _Ant King_, Dec 15 2011

%F From _Ant King_, Dec 15 2011: (Start)

%F a(n) = 63*a(n-1) - 63*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

%F a(n) = 62*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - 10.

%F a(n) = (1/60)*((3*sqrt(15)-5)*(4+sqrt(15))^(2*n-1) - (3*sqrt(15)+5)*(4-sqrt(15))^(2*n-1)+10).

%F a(n) = ceiling((1/60)*(3*sqrt(15)-5)*(4+sqrt(15))^(2*n-1)).

%F G.f.: x*(1-9*x-2*x^2)/((1-x)*(1-62*x+x^2)).
