COMMENTS
The sequence consists of numbers n^2+k, 0<=k<=n-3, n=3,4,5,... - M. F. Hasler, Oct 09 2012
One of four sequences given by classifying natural numbers according to the value of floor(sqrt(n)). See the paper in Link lines and A005563, A217571, A217575. - Takumi Sato, Oct 09 2012
EXAMPLE
As a triangle (see the first comment) this begins:
9;
16, 17;
25, 26, 27;
36, 37, 38, 39;
49, 50, 51, 52, 53;
64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69;
81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87;
100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107; etc.
