%N Positive integers k such that the continued fraction expansion sqrt(k) = c(1) + c(1)/(c(2) + c(2)/(c(3) + c(3)/...)) is periodic.

%C For more details on this type of expansion, see A233582.

%C The cases with aperiodic expansions are listed in A233593.

%C All the listed cases become periodic after just two leading terms (it is a conjecture that this behavior is general); the validity of their expansions was explicitly tested.

%e Blazys's expansion of sqrt(2) is {1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, ...}, i.e., it has a periodic termination. Consequently, 2 is a term of this sequence.

%o (PARI) See the link.

%Y Cf. A233593.

%Y Cf. Blazys's expansions: A233582, A233584, A233585, A233586, A233587.
