%F A014176 Comments from Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jan 
               02 2009 (Start): Set c:=1+sqrt(2). Then the fractional part of c^n 
               equals 1/c^n, if n odd. For even n, the fractional part of c^n is 
               equal to 1-(1/c^n).
%F A014176 c:=1+sqrt(2) satisfies c-c^(-1)=floor(c)=2, hence c^n+(-c)^(-n)=nint(c^n) 
               for n>0, which follows from the general formula of A001622.
%F A014176 1/c=sqrt(2)-1.
%F A014176 See A001622 for a general formula concerning the fractional parts of 
               powers of numbers x>1, which suffice x-x^(-1)=floor(x).
%F A014176 Other examples of constants x satisfying the relation x-x^(-1)=floor(x) 
               include A001622 (the golden ratio: where floor(x)=1) and A098316 
               (the "bronze" ratio: where floor(x)=3). (End)
