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.

A080776 Oscillating sequence which rises to 2^(k-1) in k-th segment (k>=1) then falls back to 0.

Formula

G.f.: -1 + 2/(1-x) + 1/(1-x)^2 * (-1 + sum(k>=0, 2t^2(t-1), t=x^2^k)). a(n) = A005942(n+2) - 3(n+1), n>0. - Ralf Stephan, Sep 13 2003
a(0)=0, a(2n) = a(n) + a(n-1) + (n==1), a(2n+1) = 2a(n). - Ralf Stephan, Oct 20 2003
