Comments

The lower endpoint e^(n-1) is included; the upper endpoint is not included. The terms a(0) to a(8) coincide with the Fibonacci numbers.

Formula

a(n) = ceiling(sqrt(exp(n))) - ceiling(sqrt(exp(n-1))).

From Alois P. Heinz, Feb 19 2019: (Start)

Lim_{n->oo} a(n+1)/a(n) = sqrt(e) = 1.64872127... = A019774.

a(n) = A005181(n+1) - A005181(n). (End)

a(n) = (1-1/sqrt(e))*e^(n/2)+O(1) ~ 0.39346934...*e^(n/2) ~ A290506*e^(n/2). - Alexei Kourbatov, Feb 20 2019

Example

Between exp(2) and exp(3) there are two squares, namely, 9 and 16; therefore, a(3)=2.

Maple

a:= n-> (f-> f(n)-f(n-1))(i-> ceil(exp(i/2))):
seq(a(n), n=0..44);  # Alois P. Heinz, Feb 18 2019

Prog

(PARI) a(n)=ceil(sqrt(exp(n)))-ceil(sqrt(exp(n-1)));
for(n=0, 50, print1(a(n)", "))
