COMMENTS

Floor [Sqrt(2*n! + n^2)] for most values of n, the exceptions are 1,2,3,7,... in which case a(n) = Floor [Sqrt(2*n! + n^2)] + 1.

FORMULA

Least k such that {k(k+1)/2 - n(n+1)/2} >= n!

a(n) = ceiling[(-1 + sqrt(1 + 8n! + 4n^2 + 4n))/2] and ignoring the -1 outside the sqrt and + 1 inside gives the approximate formula in the comment. - Joshua Zucker (joshua.zucker(AT)stanfordalumni.org), May 08 2006

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 8, 5+6+7+8 = 26 >24, but 5+6+7=18, 24=4!

a(5) = 16, 6+7+8+...+15+16 = 121 > 120 = 5!

PROG

(PARI) { for(n=1, 20, s=0; found=0; for(k=n+1, 10000000, if( k*(k+1)-n*(n+1)>= 2*n!, print1(k, ", "); found=1; break; ); ); if(found==0, print(0); ); ); } - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Apr 21 2006
