Comments

All terms are of form 9k+4. - Zak Seidov, Jun 04 2010

All numbers of the form 5500*10^k - 87, k >= 1 are terms, i.e., 54 followed by k 9's followed by a 13: 54913, 549913, 5499913, etc. - Enrico Munini, Feb 21 2023

Example

913 is included because 913^2 = 833569, 914^2 = 835396 and both 833569 and 835396 contain exactly the same set of digits.

Mathematica

okQ[n_] := Module[{idn = IntegerDigits[n^2]}, Sort[idn] == Sort[ IntegerDigits[ (n + 1)^2]]]; Select[Range[100000], okQ]
