%N Number of n-digit squares with no zero digits.
%C Comments from _David W. Wilson_, Feb 26 2005: (Start)
%C "There are approximately s(d) = (10^d)^(1/2) - (10^(d-1))^(1/2) d-digit squares. A random d-digit number has the probability p(d) = (9/10)^(d-1) of being zeroless (exponent d-1 as opposed to d because the first digit is not zero). So we expect p(d)s(d) zeroless d-digit squares.
%C "For d = 1 through 12, we get (truncating): 1, 5, 15, 44, 127, 363, 1034, 2943, 8377, 23841, 67854, 193117, ... The elements grow approximately geometrically with limit ratio (9/10)*10^(1/2) = 2.846+.
%C "The same naive estimate can easily be generalize to k-th powers, giving the estimate s(d) = (10^d)^(1/k) - (10^(d-1))^(1/k) for d-digit k-th powers. p(d) remains the same. The resulting estimates have ratio (9/10)*10^(1/k).
%C "We should expect an infinite number of zeroless k-th powers when this ratio is >= 1, which it is for k <= 21. For k >= 22, the ratio is < 1 and we should expect a finite number of zeroless k-th powers." (End)
