COMMENTS
For the corresponding term x1(n) see A254934(n).
See A254934 also for the Nagell reference.
The least positive y solutions (that is the ones of the first class) for the primes +1 and -1 (mod 8) together (including prime 2) are given in A255246.
FORMULA
A254934(n)^2 - 2*a(n)^2 = -A007519(n) gives the smallest positive (proper) solution of this (generalized) Pell equation.
EXAMPLE
See A254934.
n = 3: 5^2 - 2*7^2 = 25 - 98 = 73.
