%N a(n) = 81n^2 - 118n + 43.
%C The identity (6561*n^2-9558*n+3482)^2-(81*n^2-118*n+43)*(729*n-531)^2=1 can be written as A156773(n)^2-a(n)*A156771(n)^2=1 for n>0.
%C For n >= 1, the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(a(n)) is [9n-7; {2, 4, 9n-7, 4, 2, 18n-14}]. For n=1, this collapses to [2; {2, 4}]. - _Magus K. Chu_, Sep 09 2022
