COMMENT

Next (2n-1) odd numbers alternating with next 2n even numbers. Squares (A000290(n)) occur at the A000217(n)-th entry. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 06 2004. - Comment corrected by Daniel Forgues (squid(AT)zensearch.com), Jul 18 2009

a(t_n) = a(n(n+1)/2) = n^2 relates squares to triangular numbers. - Daniel Forgues

The natural numbers not included are A118011(n) = 4n - a(n) as n=1,2,3,... - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Apr 10 2006

FORMULA

a(n) = 2n - [ (1+ sqrt (8n-7)) / 2 ].

a(n)=A005843(n) - A002024(n). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 06 2004

a(n) = A118012(A118011(n)). A117384( a(n) ) = n; A117384( 4n - a(n) ) = n. - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Apr 10 2006

a(1)=1; then a(n)=a(n-1)+1 if a(n-1) is a square, a(n)=a(n-1)+2 otherwise. For example, a(21)=36 is a square therefore a(22)=36+1=37 which is not a square so a(23)=37+2=39 ... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 07 2007
