COMMENTS
(-105, a(1)) and (A129640(n), a(n+1)) are solutions (x, y) to the Diophantine equation x^2+(x+313)^2 = y^2.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (363+130*sqrt(2))/313 for n mod 3 = {0, 2}.
lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = (119187+47998*sqrt(2))/313^2 for n mod 3 = 1.

FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3)-a(n-6) for n > 6; a(1)=233, a(2)=313, a(3)=493, a(4)=905, a(5)=1565, a(6)=2725.
G.f.: (1-x)*(233+546*x+1039*x^2+546*x^3+233*x^4) / (1-6*x^3+x^6).
a(3*k-1) = 313*A001653(k) for k >= 1.
