cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Obeys the general recurrences for p-adic valuation discussed in A214411. - Redjan Shabani, Jul 17 2012
Lexicographically earliest cubefree sequence, which also (conjecturally) appears in the construction of the lexicographically earliest cubefree {0,1}-sequence A282317, cf. Example section of A286940. - M. F. Hasler, May 21 2017
The sequence is invariant under the "lower trim" operator: remove all zeros, and subtract one from each remaining term. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, May 25 2017

Formula

a(n) = 0 if n != 0 (mod 3), otherwise a(n) = 1 + a(n/3). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 12 2001, edited by M. F. Hasler, Aug 11 2015
From Ralf Stephan, Apr 12 2002: (Start)
a(n) = A051064(n) - 1.
G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} x^3^k/(1 - x^3^k). (End)
Fixed point of the morphism: 0 -> 001; 1 -> 002; 2 -> 003; 3 -> 004; 4 -> 005; etc.; starting from a(1) = 0. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 29 2004
a(n) mod 2 = 1 - A014578(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 04 2008
Totally additive with a(p) = 1 if p = 3, 0 otherwise.
v_{m}(n) = Sum_{r>=1} (r/m^(r+1)) Sum_{j=1..m-1} Sum_{k=0..m^(r+1)-1} exp((2*k*Pi*i*(n+(m-j)*m^r)) / m^(r+1)). This formula is for the general case; for this specific one, set m=3. - A. Neves, Oct 04 2010
a(3n) = A051064(n), a(2n) = a(n), a(2n-1) = A253786(n). - Cyril Damamme, Aug 04 2015

Asymptotic mean: lim_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = 1/2. - Amiram Eldar, Jul 11 2020
a(n) = tau(n)/(tau(3*n) - tau(n)) - 1, where tau(n) = A000005(n). - Peter Bala, Jan 06 2021
a(n) = 3*Sum_{j=1..floor(log_3(n))} frac(binomial(n,3^j)*3^(j-1)/n). - Dario T. de Castro, Jul 10 2022
