%N a(1)=1 then a(n) is the least k>=1 such that the nested radical sqrt(a(1)^2+sqrt(a(2)^2+sqrt(a(3)^2+(....+sqrt(a(n)^2)))...) is an integer.

%F n = sqrt(a(1)^2+sqrt(a(2)^2+sqrt(a(3)^2+(....+sqrt(a(n)^2)))...).

%F Equals main diagonal of triangle A166994. [_Paul D. Hanna_, Nov 18 2009]

%e k=55 is the least integer such that sqrt(1^2+sqrt(3^2+sqrt(k^2)))=3 is an integer hence a(3)=55.

%Y Cf. A166994. [_Paul D. Hanna_, Nov 18 2009]

%K nonn

%O 1,2
