Any d-digit number in base n meeting the criterion must also meet the condition d*(n-1)^2 < n^(d/2). Numerically, it can be shown this limits the candidate values to squares < 22*n^4. The larger values are statistically unlikely, and in fact the largest value of k in the first 1000 bases is ~9.96*n^4 in base 775.
a(n)=1 iff A226352(n)=1.

Examples

			In base 8, the four solutions are the values {1,16,256,2601}, which are written as {1,20,400,5051} in base 8 and
sqrt(1)   = 1  = 1^2
sqrt(16)  = 4  = 2^2+0^2
sqrt(256) = 16 = 4^2+0^2+0^2
sqrt(2601)= 51 = 5^2+0^2+5^2+1^2
