COMMENT

Since 2^0.5 is irrational such m must exist because for any irrational number a the sequence a,2a,3a,4a,5a,... is dense modulo 1.

All terms are contained in A079496. - R. Stephan, Sep 09 2004

FORMULA

a(n) = min m such that m*(2^0.5)-floor(m*(2^0.5)) < 2^(-n)

EXAMPLE

a(7) = 99 because 99*(2^0.5) = 140.00714267... and 0.00714267... < 2^(-7) = 0.0078125 and 99 is the least natural number that satisfies this inequality.

PROGRAM

(PARI) o=1:for(n=1, 50, for(m=o, 10^9, if(frac(sqrt(2)*m)<2^(-n), print1(m", "):o=m:break)))
