A087060 Difference between 2n^2 and the nearest square number. 7

%N Difference between 2n^2 and the nearest square number.

%C max(a(n)/n) approaches sqrt(2), and the indices of the maxima are apparently in A227792. - _Ralf Stephan_, Sep 23 2013

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A087060/b087060.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F a(n) = min [A087056(n), A087059(n)] = min [2*n^2 - (floor[n*sqrt(2)])^2, (1 + floor[n*sqrt(2)])^2 - 2*n^2]

%e a(10) = 4 because the difference between 2*10^2 = 200 and the nearest square number (196) is 4.

%t dnsn[n_]:=Module[{c=2n^2,a,b},a=Floor[Sqrt[c]]^2;b=Ceiling[Sqrt[c]]^2;Min[c-a,b-c]]; Array[dnsn,80] (* _Harvey P. Dale_, Jul 01 2017 *)
