If c is this constant and n > 0, then for n even, c^n = [A100230(n), 1, A100230(n)-1, 1, A100230(n)-1, 1, A100230(n)-1, 1, ...], for n odd, c^n = [A100230(n)+1, A100230(n)+1, A100230(n)+1, ...]. - Gerald McGarvey (gerald.mcgarvey(AT)comcast.net), Dec 15 2007

FORMULA
|
3 plus the constant in A085550. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Sep 02 2008]
Comments from Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jan 02 2009 (Start): Set c:=(3+sqrt(13))/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).
c:=(3+sqrt(13))/2 suffices c-c^(-1)=floor(c)=3, hence c^n+(-c)^(-n)=nint(c^n) for n>0, which follows from the general formula of A001622.
1/c=(sqrt(13)-3)/2.
See A001622 for a general formula concerning the fractional parts of powers of numbers x>1, which suffice x-x^(-1)=floor(x).
Other examples of constants x satisfying the relation x-x^(-1)=floor(x) include A001622 (the golden ratio: where floor(x)=1) and A014176 (the silver ratio: where floor(x)=2).

EXTENSIONS

For reasons following from the formula section, this constant could be called "the bronze ratio". For this, compare with A001622 and A014176. (End)
