%C How is this different from A034105? - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 30 2007

%C Answer: A034115 has the starts of runs of consecutive values of A034105. That is, frac{sqrt[a(n)]} >= 0.9, but frac{sqrt[a(n)-1]} < 0.9. - _Don Reble_, Jul 17 2020

%F a(n) = n^2 + 9*n + 25 + floor(4*n / 5) = A027690(n+4)+A090223(n). - _Don Reble_, Jul 17 2020

%F a(n) ~ n^2. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, May 29 2026

%e 358, 359 and 360 are a run of 3 numbers in A034105, so 358 is in this sequence, but 359 and 360 are not. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 21 2020
