COMMENTS
Not to be confused with A344409, the positive discriminants of orders of quadratic fields with class number 3.
Let h(D) and h+(D) be respectively the class number and the form class number of discriminant D. Since h+(D) = h(D) if the fundamental unit has norm -1 and 2*h(D) otherwise, this sequence consists of D such that h(D) = 3 and that the fundamental unit has norm -1.
Note that the form class group has 2-rank omega(|D|) - t, where omega = A001221, and t = 0 if 32|D, t = 2 if D == 4 (mod 16), t = 1 otherwise (see A391441). As a result, this sequence is exactly the terms in A344409 that are of the form 8, p or 4*p for prime p == 1 (mod 4).
