Do these sequences exist in the OEIS?

[Andrew Plewe]

In general, it is easy to see that x^2 = y^2 + m has no integer
solutions with respect to x,y if and only if m = 2 modulo 4.
Therefore, the first one of your sequences is simply A016825:

%C A016825 No solutions to a(n)=b^2-c^2 - Henry Bottomley
(se16(AT)btinternet.com), Jan 13 2001

The second sequence is A042965 or A024352, whichever you like.
