%N a(n) = n + floor(2*sqrt(n)); complement of A184676.
%C Also equals n + floor(sqrt(n) + sqrt(n+1/2)). Proof: floor(2*sqrt(n)) is the largest k such that k^2/4 <= n, while floor(sqrt(n) + sqrt(n+1/2)) is the largest k such that (k^2 - 1)/4 + 1/(16*k^2) <= n. All perfect squares are 0 or 1 (mod 4). In either case, it is easily verified that one of the inequalities is satisfied if and only if the other inequality is satisfied. - _Nathaniel Johnston_, Jun 26 2011
