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.

If a(n)>0, this proves that n cannot be a member of A051210, i.e., cannot be written as y^2-8^x. To prove that an integer n is in A051210, it is sufficient to find integers x,y such that y^2-8^x=n. In that case, a(n)=0.
