%N Let j be the smallest integer for which n+(n+1)+...+(n+j) is a square; sequence gives the squares.
%C Basis for sequence is shortest arithmetic sequence with initial term n and difference 1 that sums to a perfect square. Cf. A100251, A100252, A100253, A100254.

%F n+(n+1)+...+(n+A101160(n)) = n+(n+1)+...+A101159(n) = A101157(n)^2 = a(n).
%F a(n^2) = n^2. - _Michel Marcus_, Jun 28 2013
%e a(11)=36 since 11+12+13 = 36.
%Y Cf. A101157, A101159, A101160.
