COMMENTS

Basis for sequence is shortest arithmetic sequence with initial term n and difference 1 that sums to a perfect square. Cf. A100251-A100254.

FORMULA

n+(n+1)+...+(n+A101160(n))=n+(n+1)+...+A101159(n)= A101157(n)^2=A101158(n)

EXAMPLE

a(11)=13 since j=13 is the smallest integer such that 11+...+j=6^2=36 is a perfect square.

CROSSREFS
