COMMENTS

If a(n)=1 then such n gives the sequence A006451 (triangular numbers whose distance to the nearest bigger perfect square is 1). [From Ctibor O. ZIZKA (c.zizka(AT)email.cz), Oct 07 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)=(floor(sqrt(n(n+1)/2))+1)^2-n(n+1)/2

EXAMPLE

a(1)=2^2-1(1+1)/2=3, a(2)=2^2-2(2+1)/2=1, a(3)=3^2-3(3+1)/2=3, a(3)=4^2-4(4+1)/2=6.

MATHEMATICA

Table[(Floor[Sqrt[n(n+1)/2]]+1)^2-n(n+1)/2, {n, 100}]

CROSSREFS
