COMMENT
|
This sequence counts the periodic points in the simplest nontrivial S-integer dynamical system. These dynamical systems arise naturally in arithmetic and are built by making an isometric extension of a familiar hyperbolic system. The extension destroys some of the periodic points, in this case reducing the original number 2^n-1 by factoring out any 3's. An interesting feature is that the logarithmic growth rate is still log 2.

FORMULA
|
a(n)=(2^n-1)x|2^n-1|_3
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(6)=7 because 2^6-1 = 3^2x7, so |2^6-1|_3=3^(-2).
