problem

Denote by l(n)l(n) the largest prime divisor of nn. Let an+1=an+l(an)a_{n+1} = a_n + l(a_n) be a recursively defined sequence of integers with a1=2a_1 = 2. Determine all natural numbers mm such that there exists some i∈Ni \in \mathbb{N} with ai=m2a_i = m^2.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Denote by l(n) the largest prime divisor of n. Let a_(n+1)=a_(n)+l(a_(n)) be a recursively
defined sequence of integers with a₁=2. Determine all natural numbers m such that there
exists some i∈N with a_(i)=m².
Original LaTeX notation
Denote by $l(n)$ the largest prime divisor of $n$. Let $a_{n+1} = a_n + l(a_n)$ be a recursively
defined sequence of integers with $a_1 = 2$. Determine all natural numbers $m$ such that there
exists some $i \in \mathbb{N}$ with $a_i = m^2$.
