%C The greedy inverse (sequence of the smallest k such that a(k)=n) starts 0, 3, 2, 6, 5, 11, 10, 18, 17, 27, 26, 38, 37, 51, 50, ... and appears to be given by A010000 and A002522, interleaved. - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 17 2014

%F a(n) = A048761(n) - n = ceiling(sqrt(n))^2 - n.

%F G.f.: (-x^2 + (x-x^2)*Sum_{m>=1} (1+2*m)*x^(m^2))/(1-x)^2. This sum is related to Jacobi Theta functions. - _Robert Israel_, Nov 17 2014
