COMMENTS
16*k*a(n) provides infinitely many x-values solutions (x,y) of x*(5*x + k) = y^2.
This follows from the fact that 5*16*a(n) + 1 is a perfect square: more precisely, 80*a(n) + 1 = A023039(n)^2.
This is a divisibility sequence, that is a(n) divides a(m) if n divides m. It is the case P1 = 324, P2 = 644, Q = 1 of the 3 parameter family of 4th-order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - Peter Bala, Jan 19 2018

FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1 + x)/((1 - x)*(1 - 322*x + x^2)).
a(n) = a(-n) = ((2 + sqrt(5))^(4*n) + (2 - sqrt(5))^(4*n) - 2)/320.
a(n) = A225786(n)/48. This is the case k=3 of the first comment. Example: for n = 2, 16*3*a(2) = A225786(2) = 15552 and 15552*(5*15552+3) = 34776^2.
a(n) = A049660(n)^2.
a(n)*(80*a(n) + 1) = 81*A253368(n)^2 for n>0.
a(n)*a(n-2) = (a(n-1) - 1)^2.
a(n) = 322*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 2.
a(n) = 323*a(n-1) - 323*a(n-2) + a(n-3). - Iain Fox, Jan 12 2018
a(n) = A298271(n)+A298271(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 20 2020
