%N A232091 Smallest square or promic (oblong) number greater than or equal to n.
%C A232091 Result attributed to the students Daring, et al., in the links section.
%C A232091 a(n) appears in floor(sqrt(a(n))) = A000194(n) successive terms.
%C A232091 Counting successive equal terms give sequence: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, ... (see A008619). - _Michel Marcus_, Jan 10 2014

%F A232091 a(n) = ceiling(n/ceiling(sqrt(n)))*ceiling(sqrt(n)).
%F A232091 a(n) = min(k : k >= n, k in A002620).
%F A232091 a(k^2) = k^2; a(k*(k+1)) = k*(k+1).
%F A232091 It appears that a(n) = A216607(n) + n. (Verified for all n<10^9 by _Lars Blomberg_, Jan 09 2014.) This conjecture now follows from a proof given by _David Applegate_, Jan 10 2014 (see [Applegate]).
