%N Trajectory of 11 under repeated application of the map n -> n + 2*square excess of n (see A094765).

%C The trajectory of 3 gives A002061 and 5 gives essentially the same trajectory as 3.

%F Numbers given satisfy a(n) = n^2 + 5n + 7, for n>2. - _Ralf Stephan_, Dec 04 2004

%F From _Robert Israel_, Oct 23 2015: (Start)

%F This is because for x = m^2 + 5*m + 7, (m+2)^2 < x < (m+3)^2 so A094765(x) = x + 2*(x-(m+2)^2) = m^2 + 7*m + 13 = (m+1)^2 + 5*(m+1) + 7.

%F Similarly, for any positive integer k, the trajectory of k^2 + k + 1 is n^2 + (2k+1) n + k^2 + k + 1 for n >= 0.

%F G.f.: 4 + 2*x + 6*x^2 + (7-8*x+3*x^2)/(1-x)^3. (End)

%p f:= n -> 3*n - 2*floor(sqrt(n))^2:
