COMMENTS
This is a subsequence of { sqrt(A034289(n)) }, or equivalently, { a(n)^2 } is a subsequence of A034289. Cf. A135780 for more remarks.
FORMULA
a(n) = sqrt(A135780(n)).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 12 since 12^2 = 144 is the least square such that a cyclic permutation of its decimal digits is again a square, namely 441 = 21^2. See A135780 for more explanations.
