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.

Digital root of 2^n.
A regular version of Pitoun's sequence: a(n) = A029898(n+1).
Also obtained from permutations of A141425, A020806, A070366, A153110, A153990, A154127, A154687, or A154815.
This sequence and its (again period 6) repeated differences produce the table:
1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, ...
1, 2, 4, -1, -2, -4, 1, 2, 4, -1, -2, ...
1, 2, -5, -1, -2, 5, 1, 2, -5, -1, -2, ...
1, -7, 4, -1, 7, -4, 1, -7, 4, -1, 7, ...
-8, 11, -5, 8,-11, 5, -8, 11, -5, 8,-11, ...
19,-16, 13,-19, 16,-13, 19,-16, 13,-19, 16, ...
-35, 29,-32, 35,-29, 32,-35, 29,-32, 35,-29, ...
64,-61, 67,-64, 61,-67, 64,-61, 67,-64, 61, ...
If each entry of this table is read modulo 9 we obtain the very regular table:
1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, ...
1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, ...
1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, ...
1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, ...
1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, ...
1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, ...
Also the decimal expansion of the constant 125/1001. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 23 2009
Digital root of the powers of any number congruent to 2 mod 9. - Alonso del Arte, Jan 26 2014

Formula

a(n) + a(n+3) = 9 = A010734(n).
G.f.: (1+x+2x^2+5x^3)/((1-x)(1+x)(1-x+x^2)). - R. J. Mathar, Jan 23 2009
a(n) = A082365(n) mod 9. - Paul Curtz, Mar 31 2009
a(n) = -1/2*cos(Pi*n) - 3*cos(1/3*Pi*n) - 3^(1/2)*sin(1/3*Pi*n) + 9/2. - Leonid Bedratyuk, May 13 2012
a(n) = A010888(A004000(n+1)). - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Nov 27 2014
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 20 2015: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-6) for n>5.
a(n) = a(n-1) - a(n-3) + a(n-4) for n>3.
a(n) = (2+3*(n-1 mod 3))*(n mod 2) + (1+3*(-n mod 3))*(n-1 mod 2). (End)
a(n) = 2^n mod 9. - Nikita Sadkov, Oct 06 2018
From Stefano Spezia, Mar 20 2025: (Start)
E.g.f.: 4*cosh(x) - exp(x/2)*(3*cos(sqrt(3)*x/2) + sqrt(3)*sin(sqrt(3)*x/2)) + 5*sinh(x).
a(n) = A007953(2*a(n-1)) = A010888(2*a(n-1)). (End)
