%N Indices of centered heptagonal numbers (A069099) that are also octagonal numbers (A000567).

%C Also positive integers y in the solutions to 6*x^2 - 7*y^2 - 4*x + 7*y - 2 = 0, the corresponding values of x being A254855.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,26,-26,-1,1).

%F a(n) = a(n-1)+26*a(n-2)-26*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5).

%F G.f.: x*(x^3+13*x^2-x-1) / ((x-1)*(x^4-26*x^2+1)).

%e 15 is in the sequence because the 15th centered heptagonal number is 736, which is also the 16th octagonal number.
