COMMENTS
The first occurrence of k appears at floor((k-1)^2/2), beginning with k=3. - Robert G. Wilson v, Mar 01 2015
If the sign inside the sqrt() is changed from "+" to "-", then the offset must be changed from 0 to 1 in order for the terms in the data to remain the same. - Robert G. Wilson v, Mar 01 2015
FORMULA
With offset 1, a(n) = A339399(n) + A339443(n). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 31 2020
