%C A081215 From _Mathew Englander_, Oct 19 2020: (Start)
%C A081215 The sum of two adjacent terms of the sequence cannot be prime.
%C A081215 In base n, a(n) has n-1 digits, which are (beginning from the left): n-2, 2, n-4, 4, and so on, except that if n is even the rightmost digit is 1 instead of 0. In that case, the other digits form a palindrome with every even digit from 2 to n-2 appearing twice. For example, a(14) in base 14 is c2a486684a2c1. If n is odd, then all digits from 1 to n-1 occur exactly once. For example, a(15) in base 15 is d2b496785a3c1e.
%C A081215 For any positive integer k, any prime p, and any positive integer h such that h*p > 2, a(h*p^k - 2) == (-1)^h * (1 - 2^(h-1)) (mod p). For example, a(7*p^k - 2) == 63 (mod p); a(10*p^k - 2) == -511 (mod p).
%C A081215 Suppose k and m are positive integers. If k is even, then a(k*m) == 1, a(k*m+1) == 0, and a(k*m-1) == -1 (all mod m). If k is odd, then a(k*m) == (-1)^m and a(k*m+1) == ceiling(m/2) (both mod m), while a(k*m-1) == m/2 - 1 for m even, and a(k*m-1) == 1 for m odd (mod m).
%C A081215 For proofs of the above, see the Englander link. (End)
