COMMENTS
a(n) is the ceiling of the area of a square with diagonal n times the circumference of a circle with diameter n. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Oct 03 2014
a(n) is also the ceiling of the volume of a cylinder with radius n and height n/2. Equivalently, a(n) is the ceiling of the volume of a cylinder with diameter n and height 2*n. - Derek Orr, Oct 03 2014
