%C A028872 Sequence allows us to find X values of the equation: X^3 + (X - 3)^2 
               + X - 6 = Y^2. To prove that X = n^2 + 4n + 1: Y^2 = X^3 + (X - 3)^2 
               + X - 6 = X^3 + X^2 - 5X + 3 = (X + 3)(X^2 - 2X + 1) = (X + 3)*(X 
               - 1)^2 it means: X = 1 or (X + 3) must be a perfect square, so X 
               = k^2 - 3 with k>=2. we can put: k = n + 2, which gives: X = n^2 
               + 4n + 1 and Y = (n + 2)(n^2 + 4n). - Mohamed Bouhamida (bhmd95(AT)yahoo.fr),

%C A028872 Let C = 2 + sqrt(3) = 3.732...; and 1/C = .267...; then a(n) =
%C A028872 (n - 2 + C) * (n - 2 + 1/C). Example: a(5) = 46 = (5 + 3.732...)*(5 + 
               .267...). (End)
