Comments

One of four sequences given by classifying natural numbers according to the value of floor(sqrt(n)). See Sato link and sequences A005563, A217570, A217575.

Numbers n such that floor(sqrt(n)) = floor(n/floor(sqrt(n))) = floor(n/(floor(sqrt(n)) + 2)) + 1.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,2,-2,-1,1).

Formula

G.f.: x*(1+3*x-x^2-x^3)/((1+x)^2*(1-x)^3). - Bruno Berselli, Oct 11 2012

From Stefano Spezia, Dec 14 2019: (Start)

E.g.f.: (x*(5+x)*cosh(x) - (1-7*x-x^2)*sinh(x))/4.

a(n) = a(n-1) + 1 for n odd.

a(n) = a(n-1) + n + 1 for n even.

a(2*n) = A028552(n).

a(2*n+1) = A028387(n).
