COMMENTS

For n > 1, a(n) is square if and only if n-1 is in A081016.

LINKS

FORMULA

a(n)=a(n-1)+10*n-17 (with a(1)=1) [From Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 26 2010]

EXAMPLE

A081016(0) = 1 and a(2) = 2^2 = 4; A081016(1) = 6 and a(7) = 13^2 = 169; A081016(2) = 40 and a(41) = 89^2 = 7921; A081016(3) = 273 and a(274) = 610^2 = 372100; A081016(4) = 1870 and a(1871) = 4181^2 = 17480761.
