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.

Either a(n) = a(n-1) or a(n) = a(n-1) + 1. Proof: Suppose n is a power of 2, then a(n+1) = a(n) + a(0) = a(n). Otherwise let 2m be the largest power of 2 greater than n, so a(n) = a(m) + a(n-1-m) and a(n+1) = a(m) + a(n-m) and then proceed by induction. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 27 2014
It appears that this sequence gives the partial sums of A164349. - Arie Groeneveld, Aug 27 2014
Each term other than zero appears at least twice. Suppose m is a power of 2, then a(2m) and a(4m) appear at least twice by my above comment. Otherwise suppose 3 <= k+2 <= 2m, then a(2m+k) = a(m) + a(m+k-1), a(2m+k+1) = a(m) + a(2m+k), and a(2m+k+2) = a(m) + a(m) + a(m+k+1), so a(2m+k+2) - a(2m+k) = a(m+k+1) - a(m+k-1). So if each term from a(m) to a(2m) appears at least twice then so will each term in a(2m) to a(4m). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 10 2014
a(n) = Theta(n), see link. - Benoit Jubin, Sep 16 2014

The (10^k)-th term: 0, 3, 36, 355, 3549, 35494, 354942, ... - Robert G. Wilson v, Sep 19 2014

Examples

			a(2) = a(1) + a(0) = 1 = 1 + 0;
a(3) = a(2) + a(0) = 1 = 1 + 0;
a(4) = a(2) + a(1) = 2 = 1 + 1;
a(5) = a(4) + a(0) = 2 = 2 + 0;
a(6) = a(4) + a(1) = 3 = 2 + 1;
a(7) = a(4) + a(2) = 3 = 2 + 1;
a(8) = a(4) + a(3) = 3 = 2 + 1;
a(9) = a(8) + a(0) = 3 = 3 + 0; ...
The terms fall naturally into blocks of sizes 1,1,1,2,4,8,16,32,...:
0,
1,
1,
1, 2,
2, 3, 3, 3,
3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6,
6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12,
12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, ...
Then the definition says that the k-th block is the final term of the previous block added to the sequence starting from the beginning (e.g., 34445566 = 3 + 01112233).
The final terms of the blocks, a(2^k), appear to be given by A164363. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Aug 27 2014
