COMMENTS

For n>3 we have a(n) < n^2/4 and for n>44 we have a(n) > n^2/5. - Stefan Steinerberger (stefan.steinerberger(AT)gmail.com), Apr 17 2006

This sequence contains an infinity of squares . [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Apr 03 2009]

This is to floor as A033638 is to round. [Jonathan Vos Post, Oct 08 2011].
