Triangle T(n,k) = smallest number whose square has largest digit k in base n, 0<=k<n.
0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 4, 0, 1, 3, 7, 0, 1, 6, 4, 2, 0, 1, 7, 3, 2, 14, 0, 1, 3, 11, 2, 6, 12, 0, 1, 4, 5, 2, 13, 7, 11, 0, 1, 10, 91, 2, 7, 28, 4, 20, 0, 1, 11, 111, 2, 5, 4, 24, 9, 3, 0, 1, 12, 5, 2, 4, 26, 9, 24, 3, 19, 0, 1, 5, 6, 2, 8, 19, 32, 10, 3, 11, 40, 0, 1, 14, 4, 2, 24, 9, 35, 28, 3, 6, 12, 5

Repunits in base n are an upper bound, since 11...11^2 = 12...(k)...21 in any sufficiently large base.
Row 10: 0,1,11,111,2,5,4,24,9,3, has squares 0,1,121,12321,4,25,16,576,81,9, with digits 0,...,9 as the respective largest digits.
