Positive centered cube numbers that can be written as the difference of two positive cubes: a(n) = t*(3*t^2 + 4)*(t^2*(3*t^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4 with t = 2*n-1 and n > 0.

Numbers A > 0 such that A = B^3 + (B+1)^3 = C^3 - D^3 and such that C - D = 2n - 1, with C > D > B > 0, and A = t*(3*t^2 + 4)*(t^2*(3*t^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4 with t = 2*n-1, and where A = a(n) (this sequence), B = A352756(n), C = A352757(n) and D = A352758(n).
There are infinitely many such numbers a(n) = A in this sequence.

FORMULA
a(n) = A352756(n)^3 + (A352756(n) + 1)^3 = A352757(n)^3 - A352758(n)^3 and A352757(n) - A352758(n) = 2n - 1.
a(n) = (2*n - 1)*(3*(2*n - 1)^2 + 4)*((2*n - 1)^2*(3*(2*n - 1)^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4.
a(n) can be extended for negative n such that a(-n) = -a(n+1).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 91 belongs to the sequence because 91 = 3^3 + 4^3 = 6^3 - 5^3 and 6 - 5 = 1 = 2*1 - 1.
a(2) = 201159 belongs to the sequence because 201159 = 46^3 + 47^3 = 151^3 - 148^3 and 151 - 148 = 3 = 2*2 - 1.
a(3) = (2*3 - 1)*(3*(2*3 - 1)^2 + 4)*((2*3 - 1)^2*(3*(2*3 - 1)^2 + 4)^2 + 3)/4 = 15407765.
MAPLE
restart; for n to 20 do (1/4)*(2*n-1)*(3*(2*n-1)^2+4)*((2*n-1)^2*(3*(2*n-1)^2+4)^2+3) end do;
