%N a(n) = ceiling(sqrt(n))*floor(sqrt(n)).

%C a(n) = n iff n is a square or a pronic (or heteromecic) number of form k(k+1). The sequence interleaves individual squares with 2k copies of each pronic.

%F a(n) = A003059(n)*A000196(n) = n - A038760(n).

%F a(A002620(n)) = A002620(n). - _Bernard Schott_, Nov 06 2022

%F Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/12 (A072691). - _Amiram Eldar_, Dec 04 2022

%e a(31) = 30 since 6 and 5 are on either side of the square root of 31 and 6*5 = 30.

%t a[n_] := Ceiling[Sqrt[n]]*Floor[Sqrt[n]]; Array[a, 70, 0] (* _Amiram Eldar_, Dec 04 2022 *)
