I don't know about your conjecture, but I just found a formula for an
infinite family of (probably all) solutions to A103974. The solution is
$a_k = 4 U_k^2 + 1$, where $(U_k, V_k)$ is the $kth$ solution to Pell's
equation $3 U_k^2 + 1 = V_k^2$, namely $U_0 = 0$, $U_1 = 1$,
$V_0 = 1$, $V_1 = 2$, and $U_{k+1} = 4 U_k - U_{k-1}$ and $V_{k+1} = 4V_k
- V_{k-1}$ for $k\geq 1$. Specifically we have
$U_k = (\alpha^k - \beta^k)/(2\sqrt{3})$, where $\alpha = 2+\sqrt{3}$ and
$\beta = 2-\sqrt{3}$. The first few solutions are $a=1,5,65,
901,12545,174725,2433601, 33895685$ corresponding to
$U=0,1,4,15,56,209,780,2911$.

Hello Seqfans,
Just noticed Zak Seidov's nice A103974:
"Smaller sides (a) in (a,a,a+1)-integer triangle with integer area."
Can anyone prove the following conjectures?
(1) A103974(n)^2 - A011922(n)^2 = ( 4*A007655(n) )^2
(2) all triangles meeting the criteria in A103974 are given by (1).
If true, then we have a formulas for the triangles of A103974 from:
(3) 1/2 base of triangles = A011922(n) = ( A103974(n) + 1 )/2
(4) 1/4 height of triangles = A007655(n)
and by employing the nice formulas for A011922 and A007655.
The connections seem rather significant.
See below for sequences ...
