a(n) = floor(n*sqrt(2)) - floor(n/sqrt(2)). Indeed, the equation {(nearest integer to n/r) = floor(nr) - floor(n/r) for all n>=0} has exactly two solutions: sqrt(2) and -sqrt(2). - Clark Kimberling, Dec 18 2003
Let s(n) = zeta(3) - Sum_{k=1..n} 1/k^3. Conjecture: for n >=1, s(a(n)) < 1/n^2 < s(a(n)-1), and the difference sequence of A049473 consists solely of 0's and 1, in positions given by the nonhomogeneous Beatty sequences A001954 and A001953, respectively. - Clark Kimberling, Oct 05 2014

Comments

This is one of three sequences that partition the positive integers. In general, suppose that r, s, t are positive real numbers for which the sets {i/r: i>=1}, {j/s: j>=1}, {k/t: k>=1} are disjoint. Let a(n) be the rank of n/r when all the numbers in the three sets are jointly ranked. Define b(n) and c(n) as the ranks of n/s and n/t. It is easy to prove that
a(n)=n+[ns/r]+[nt/r],
b(n)=n+[nr/s]+[nt/s],
c(n)=n+[nr/t]+[ns/t], where []=floor.
Taking r = sqrt(2), s = sqrt(2) + 1, t = sqrt(2) + 2 yields
