COMMENTS
If we define C(n) = (5*n)^2 (n > 0), the sequence is the first "square-sequence" such that for every n there exists p such that C(n) = C(p) + C(p+n). We observe in fact that p = 3n because 25 = 3^2 + 4^2. The sequence without 0 is linked with the first nontrivial solution (trivial: n^2 = 0^2 + n^2) of the equation X^2 = 2Y^2 + 2n^2 where X = 2*k and Y = 2*p + n which is equivalent to k^2 = p^2 + (p+n)^2 for n given. The second such "square-sequence" is (29*n)^2 (n > 0) because 29^2 = 20^2 + 21^2 and with this relation we obtain (29*n)^2 = (20*n)^2 + (20n+n)^2. - Richard Choulet, Dec 23 2007

FORMULA
a(n) = 25*n^2 = 25*A000290(n) = 5*A033429(n). - Omar E. Pol, Jul 03 2014
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 25 2021: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/150.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/300.
Product_{n>=1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = sinh(Pi/5)/(Pi/5).
Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = sin(Pi/5)/(Pi/5) = 5*sqrt((5-sqrt(5))/2)/(2*Pi). (End)
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} A053742(i). - John Elias, Jun 30 2021
G.f.: 25*x*(1 + x)/(1 - x)^3. - Stefano Spezia, Jul 08 2023
