COMMENTS

This sequence is infinite (F. Luca in De Koninck).

The values of k^2 are a subset of A076445, so 23 terms of the sequence are known from there. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 05 2010

Together with 1, supersequence of A238799. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Mar 06 2014

From Amiram Eldar, Feb 23 2024: (Start)

a(8) <= 100568547815.

A041042(2*k) is a term for all k >= 0 (since 3^3 * A041043(n)^2 - A041042(n)^2 = -1 if n is odd and 2 if n is even). (End)
