COMMENTS
Since a(13) < a(12), a(13) is actually the smallest nontrivial square with at least 12 identical adjacent digits. a(12) is the smallest containing 12, but not more than 12, identical adjacent digits. - Jon E. Schoenfield, May 16 2010
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 1444 because it has 3 adjacent 4's, and no square less than 1444 has 3 adjacent digits which are the same.
