The set of integers for which the summands are distinct does not have a natural density but that the counting function oscillates in a predictable way (see ref)

Mike Sheppard: Reverting back the edits, as 'greedy sum of distinct squares' is a different sequence. 38 in this sequence, but not if 'greedy'.

FORMULA

For n > 98, a(n) = n + 30. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 02 2011 (This implies a(n+2) = 2*a(n+1)-a(n) for n > 98.)
