COMMENT

Continued fraction expansion of sqrt(2) is 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + ...))).

Inverse binomial transform of Mersenne numbers A000225(n+1)=2^(n+1)-1. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Feb 28 2003

A Chebyshev transform of 2^n : if A(x) is the g.f. of a sequence, map it to ((1-x^2)/(1+x^2))A(x/(1+x^2)). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 31 2004

An inverse Catalan transform of A068875 under the mapping g(x)->g(x(1-x)). A068875 can be retrieved using the mapping g(x)->g(xc(x)), where c(x) is the g.f. of A000108. A040000 and A068875 may be described as a Catalan pair. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Nov 14 2004

Sequence of electron arrangement in the 1s 2s and 3s atomic subshells. Cf. A001105, A016825. - Jeremy Gardiner (jeremy.gardiner(AT)btinternet.com), Dec 19 2004
