We want solutions to m(7m-5)/2 = n(n+1)/2, or equivalently (14m-5)^2 = 7(2n+1)^2 + 18. This is the Pell-type equation x^2 - 7y^2 = 18.
This equation has unit solutions (x,y) = (5,1), (9, 3) and (19, 7), which lead to the family of solutions (5, 1), (9, 3), (19, 7), (61, 23), (135, 51), (299, 113), (971, 367), .... The corresponding integer solutions are (m,n) = (1,1), (10, 25), (154, 406), (2449, 6478), ... (A048907 and A048908), giving the nonagonal triangular numbers 1, 325, 82621, 20985481, ... shown here.
lim(n -> Infinity, a(n)/a(n-1) = (8 + 3*sqrt(7))^2. - Ant King, Nov 03 2011

FORMULA

Define x(n) + y(n)*sqrt(63) = (9+sqrt(63))*(8+sqrt(63))^n, s(n) = (y(n)+1)/2; then a(n) = (2+9*(s(n)^2-s(n)))/2. - Steven Schlicker, Apr 24 2007
a(n+1) = 127*a(n+1)+36+6*(448*a(n)^2+256*a(n)+25)^0.5. - Richard Choulet, Sep 22 2007
a(n) = 255*a(n-1) - 255*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
a(n) = 1/112*(9*(8 + 3*sqrt(7))^(2n-1) + 9*(8-3* sqrt(7))^(2n-1) - 32).
a(n) = floor(9/112*(8 + 3*sqrt(7))^(2n-1)).
