COMMENTS

Look at the interleaving of the decimal expansion of the square roots of 2 and 20.

Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..300

FORMULA

a(n) = b where b = floor(sqrt(2*10^(n-1))) and if b(b+1)/2 < 10^(n-1), then b = b+1.

a(n) = round((2*10^(n-1))^(1/2)). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Mar 08 2004

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 45 as the T45 is 45*46/2 = 1035 while the T44 is 990.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Block[{a = Floor[Sqrt[2*10^n]]}, If[a(a + 1)/2 < 10^n, a++ ]; Return[a]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 0, 30} ]

(PARI) a(n) = round(sqrt(2*10^(n-1))) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 04 2011

(MAGMA) [Round(Sqrt(2*10^(n-1))) : n in [1..30]]; // Vincenzo Librandi, Oct 05 2011
