COMMENTS
a(n) is the number k such that {k^p} < 1/2 < {(k+1)^p}, where p = 1/5 and { } = fractional part. Equivalently, the jump sequence of f(x) = x^(1/5), in the sense that these are the nonnegative integers k for which round(k^p) < round((k+1)^p). For details and a guide to related sequences, see A219085.
