Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 59th year, we have over 358,000 sequences, and we’ve crossed 10,300 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS

Is this sequence finite and if so what is the last term?

Yes, the sequence must be finite. This follows from a well-known result: there are no infinite antichains for the subsequence ordering. - Jeffrey Shallit, Mar 05 2014

If it exists, a(29) is greater than 10^18. - Mauro Fiorentini, Jan 24 2017

If it exists, a(51) is greater than 2*10^30. - Giovanni Resta, Jan 08 2018

EXAMPLE

576 is in the list because none of its proper subsequences 5, 7, 6, 57, 76 or 56 are squares.

MATHEMATICA

fQ[n_] := Module[{d = IntegerDigits[n], ds, sq}, ds = FromDigits /@ Union[Most[Rest[Subsets[d]]]]; sq = Select[ds, # > 0 && IntegerQ[Sqrt[#]] &, 1]; sq == {}]; Select[Range[0, 100000]^2, fQ] (* T. D. Noe, Mar 05 2014 *)

PROG

(PARI) isok(n) = {my(d = digits(n)); for (k = 1, #d, for (j= 1, #d - k + 1, if (j != #d, sd = vector(j, i, d[k+i-1]); nsd = fromdigits(sd); if (nsd && issquare(nsd), return(0)); ); ); ); return (1); } \\ Michel Marcus, Apr 21 2018
