%N Rounded total surface area of a regular tetrahedron with edge length n.

%C a(n) is the integer k that minimizes |k/n^2 - sqrt(3)|. - _Clark Kimberling_, Oct 11 2017

%F a(n) = round(n^2 * sqrt(3)).

%F a(n) = A000194(n^4 + 3). - _Christian Krause_, Aug 04 2021

%e a(3)=16 because round(3^2*sqrt(3)) = round(9*1.73205...) = round(15.5884...) = 16.
