%C Union of even integers and A001333. - _Ivan Neretin_, Aug 04 2016

%H Ivan Neretin, <a href="/A257282/b257282.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10001</a>

%F a(n) = sqrt(A256944).

%F a(n) ~ 2n. [Following _Charles R Greathouse IV_'s formula for A256944.]

%e 5 is not in the sequence because 5^2 = 25 = 12 + 13 is the sum of two consecutive numbers both of which are not squares.

%e All even numbers are in the sequence because (2k)^2 = 4k^2 cannot be written as sum of two consecutive numbers and 2k^2 is not a square.

%e An odd number n is in the sequence if one of the two numbers next to n^2/2 is a square.
