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.

A125754 Numbers n whose reverse binary representation has the following property: let a 0 mean "halving" and a 1 mean "k -> 3k+1". The number describes an operation k -> f_n(k). If the equation f_n(k) = k has an integer solution, n is a term in the sequence.

A125756 Numbers n whose reverse binary representation has the following property: let a 0 mean "halving" and a 1 mean "k -> 3k+1". The number describes an operation k -> f_n(k). If the equation f_n(k) = k has a positive integer solution, n is a term in the sequence.

For a given integer m, write its binary representation in reverse order, as in A125626, A125754, etc.; let a 0 mean "halving" and a 1 mean "k -> 3k+1". Then m specifies an operation on real numbers given by k -> f_m(k). Suppose the equation f_m(k) = k has a positive integer solution for some m. Then we conjecture that the values of k are precisely the terms of this sequence.
25 is a term because we have 25 -> 76 -> 38 -> 19 -> 58 -> 29 -> 88 -> 44 -> 22 -> 11 -> 34 -> 17 -> 52 -> 26 -> 13 -> 40 -> 20 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 25.
In other words, we conjecture that this sequence coincides with A125757 sorted and with duplicates removed.

Formula

From R. J. Mathar, Apr 03 2009: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3) = a(n-2) + 9.
a(n) + a(n+1) = A017185(n).
G.f.: x*(4+3*x+2*x^2)/((1+x)*(x-1)^2). (End)
E.g.f.: 2 + ((9*x - 5/2)*exp(x) - (3/2)*exp(-x))/2. - David Lovler, Aug 21 2022
