%N Consider the positive squares summing to n as obtained by the greedy algorithm; a(n) is the least of these squares.
%F a(n^2) = n^2.
%F a(n) = A350674(n, A053610(n)).
%e For n = 13:
%e - 13 = 3^2 + 2^2,
%e - so a(13) = 2^2.
%o (PARI) a(n, e=2) = { my (r=0); while (n, r=sqrtnint(n, e); n-=r^e); r^e }
