Hi Artur,

most time is spent in calculating ((3 + 2 Sqrt[2])^(2^(n - 1) - 1) and 

(3 -  2 Sqrt[2])^(2^(n - 1) - 1). We may speed this up by calculating it 

recursively and using functions that remember their values. You may even 

precalculating p1 and p2 by p1[nmax]; and p2[nmax];. Do not make nmax 

too big,the numbers increase astronomically, otherwise your memory will 

overflow. The subsequent calculations are then very fast. Here is an 

example:



p1[n_]:=p1[n]=p1[n-1]^(2)(3+2Sqrt[2])//Expand;

p1[1]=1;

p2[n_]:=p2[n]=p2[n-1]^(2)(3-2Sqrt[2])//Expand;

p2[1]=1;



p1[27; p2[27];



Timing[Do[If[IntegerQ[t= (p1[n]-p2[n])/(4 Sqrt[2] 

(-1+2^n))//Expand],Print[{n}]],{n,1,27,2}]]

hope this helps, Daniel
