%C A379895 Different from A355813 at indices r such that A355812(r) is in A379983.
%C A379895 Let S(N) = {1/x^2 - 1/y^2 : 1 <= x < y <= N}, then N - 1 - a(n) is the size of |S(N) \ S(N-1)|, N = A355812(n). Note that S_N is the number of distinct energy differences within the first N energy levels of a hydrogen atom, and in particular |S(N)| < binomial(N,2) for N >= 35 since a(1) = 1.
