The definitions of A026468 and A026469 are
 a(n) = least positive integer > a(n-1) and not a(i)^2 + a(j)^2 for 1<=i<=j<=n.
and
 a(n) = least positive integer > a(n-1) and not a(i)^2 + a(j)^2 for 1<=i<=j<=n.  	
which looks quite identical. So why can A026468/9 be two different
sequences? Is there a "not" too much or too little, or rather one of the 
"less-equal" signs to be corrected to "less" or a starting condition on a(2)
to be added?
