A119719 Continued fraction expansion of the value (mod 1) where ?(x)-x attains its global maximum. +0

0, 1, 3, 1, 4 (list; graph; listen)
OFFSET

0,3

COMMENT

?(x) is Minkowski's question mark function. Note ?(x)-x is odd and has period 1. Finding the maximum of ?(x)-x difficult; fractal local maxima abound. Given that this continued fraction expansion represents the real a, we note the global minimum of ?(x)-x occurs (symmetrically across x=1/2) at 1-a (mod 1). We expect even entries will remain near (if not at) 1 and odd entries will grow very slowly (perhaps not monotonically).
