Then a(n) is the minimum number of iterations in order to have c(a(n)) odd if n is even or c(a(n)) even if n is odd. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 16 2001 %F A050603 Equals A053398(2, n). %F A050603 G.f.: (1+x)/x^2 * Sum(k>=1, x^(2^k)/(1-x^(2^k))). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Apr 12 2002 %F A050603 a(n) = A136480(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Dec 31 2007 %Y A050603 Bisection gives column 1 of A050600: A001511. %Y A050603 a(n)=A007814(n+1)+A007814(n+2). %Y A050603 Sequence in context: A003638 A094267 A136480 this_sequence A037162 A027358 A155092 %Y A050603 Adjacent sequences: A050600 A050601 A050602 this_sequence A050604 A050605 A050606 %K A050603 nonn %O A050603 0,3 %A A050603 Antti Karttunen Jun 22 1999 Search completed in 0.001 seconds
