FORMULA

Let f(n) = floor(1/2 + sqrt(2*n)), then this function is S(n) = f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + ... + f(n).

a(n) is asymptotic to c*n^(3/2) with c=0.9428.... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Dec 18 2002

a(n) is asymptotic to c*n^{3/2} with c = (2/3)*sqrt(2) = .942809.... - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Sep 07 2006

Set R=ROUND(SQRT(2*n),0), then a(n)=((6*n+1)*R-R^3)/6 [From Gerald Hillier (adr.rabbicat(AT)gmail.com), Nov 28 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(7) = 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 18

PROGRAM

(PARI) f(n) = floor(1/2+sqrt(2*n)) for(n=1, 100, print1(sum(k=1, n, f(k)), ", "))

(PARI) { default(realprecision, 100); for (n=1, 1000, a=sum(k=1, n, floor(1/2 + sqrt(2*k))); write("b060432.txt", n, " ", a); ) } [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Jul 05 2009]
