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.

A159253 a(n) is the smallest positive integer not yet in the sequence such that n * a(n) is a cube.

Programs

  • Mathematica
    f[p_, e_] := If[(r = Mod[e, 3]) == 0, p^e, p^(e - (-1)^r)]; a[n_] := Times @@ (f @@@ FactorInteger[n]); Array[a, 100] (* Amiram Eldar, Aug 29 2019 *)
  • PARI
    a(n) = {my(f = factor(n), r); prod(i = 1, #f~, r=f[i,2]%3; f[i,1]^if(r == 0, f[i,2], f[i,2]-(-1)^r));} \\ Amiram Eldar, Dec 01 2022

Formula

Multiplicative with a(p^(3*n)) = p^(3*n), a(p^(3*n+1)) = p^(3*n+2), and a(p^(3*n+2)) = p^(3*n+1).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^3, where c = (zeta(6)/(3*zeta(3))) * Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^2 + 1/p^3) = A347328 * A330596 / 3 = 0.2111705... . - Amiram Eldar, Dec 01 2022
