COMMENT

Earliest monotonic sequence >0 satisfying the condition : "a(n)+2n is not in the sequence" - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 25 2004

Also the integer part of the hypotenuse of isosceles right triangles. The real part of these numbers is irrational. For proof see Jones and Jones.

First differences are 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, ..(A006337) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), May 29 2006
