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.

Showing 1-4 of 4 results.

From Bernard Schott, Aug 31 2021 and Sep 16 2021: (Start)
Apart from 0, integers such that the number of even divisors (A183063) is odd.
Proof: every n = 2^q * (2k+1), q, k >= 0, then 2*n^2 = 2^(2q+1) * (2k+1)^2; now, gcd(2, 2k+1) = 1, tau(2^(2q+1)) = 2q+2 and tau((2k+1)^2) = 2u+1 because (2k+1)^2 is square, so, tau(2*n^2) = (2q+2) * (2u+1).
The 2q+2 divisors of 2^(2q+1) are {1, 2, 2^2, 2^3, ..., 2^(2q+1)}, so 2^(2q+1) has 2q+1 even divisors {2^1, 2^2, 2^3, ..., 2^(2q+1)}.
Conclusion: these 2q+1 even divisors create with the 2u+1 odd divisors of (2k+1)^2 exactly (2q+1)*(2u+1) even divisors of 2*n^2, and (2q+1)*(2u+1) is odd. (End)

Atomic numbers of noble elements in the periodic table.
Partial sums of A093907. - Lekraj Beedassy, Mar 24 2006
Comment from Don N. Page (don(AT)phys.ualberta.ca), Dec 12 2006: (Start)
"Relativistic corrections and instabilities to pair creation of electrons and positrons would occur even if one could have stable nuclei of arbitrarily many protons Z for the fixed value of the fine structure constant alpha ~ 1/137 in our universe.
"However, if one considered an imaginary universe with arbitrarily tiny alpha and a fixed point source of charge Z, one could have stable neutral atoms of Z nonrelativistic electrons of mass m for any Z, so long as one takes the limit Z alpha -> 0 by taking alpha -> 0 after fixing Z.
"One could then define noble elements to be given by the integer values of Z such that the ionization energy, in units of m c^2 alpha^2, of any such atom in its ground state with larger Z is less than that of the noble element (which appears to be the case for all the noble elements with the actual nonzero value of alpha).
"This sequence of idealized nonrelativistic noble elements with Z electrons would give an infinite sequence of integers Z, which may or may not be the same as that given by the explicit formula listed for the present sequence. It would likely be a difficult mathematical problem to calculate this infinite sequence." (End)

Formula

a(n) = 2*floor((n+2)/2)^2. - Leonardo Pachon (leaupaco(AT)yahoo.es), Jul 31 2004
From R. J. Mathar, Oct 04 2009: (Start)
a(n) = 2*A008794(n+2).
G.f.: 2*x*(1 + 3*x - x^3 - 2*x^2 + x^4)/((1 + x)^2*(1 - x)^3). (End)
a(n) = (2*n+3+(-1)^n)^2/8, from Luce ETIENNE. - Bruno Berselli, Jun 03 2014
E.g.f.: ((4 + 3*x + x^2)*cosh(x) + (1 + 5*x + x^2)*sinh(x))/2. - Stefano Spezia, Aug 13 2022
