%N Lexicographically first sequence of distinct positive squares, no two or more of which sum to a square.

%C If the squares were not required to be distinct, sequence A305884 would result.

%e All terms are distinct positive squares, and no two or more of the first three positive squares sum to a square, so a(1) = 1^2 = 1, a(2) = 2^2 = 4, and a(3) = 3^2 = 9.

%e a(4) cannot be 16, because 16 + a(3) = 16 + 9 = 25 = 5^2, but a(4) = 25 satisfies the definition.

%e a(5) cannot be 36, because 36 + 9 + 4 = 49 = 7^2, but a(5) = 49 satisfies the definition.

%t a = {1}; Do[n = 1 + Last@a; s = Select[Union[Total /@ Subsets[a^2]], # >= n &]; While[AnyTrue[s, IntegerQ@Sqrt[n^2 + #] &], n++]; AppendTo[a, n], {12}]; a^2 (* _Giovanni Resta_, Jun 19 2018 *)
