What I meant was the values of  n  for which length of
period of continued fraction for  sqrt(3n^2) was  2.

 From the version below we see that this sequence is

1 2 3 4 7 11 14 15 26 28 41 52 56 79 98 ...

Is it connected with the convergents to the continued
fraction for  sqrt(3) ? :

     0  1  1  2  5  7  19  26  71  97
     -  -  -  -  -  -  --  --  --  --  ...
     1  0  1  1  3  4  11  15  41  56
