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.

A195691 The number of closed normal form lambda calculus terms of size n, where size(lambda x.M)=2+size(M), size(M N)=2+size(M)+size(N), and size(V)=1+i for a variable V bound by the i-th enclosing lambda (corresponding to a binary encoding).

Examples

			This sequence first differs from A114852 at n=10, where it excludes the two reducible terms (lambda x.x)(lambda x.x) and lambda x.(lambda x.x)x, so normal 10 = (closed 10)-2 = 6-2 = 4.

q * N(1,k+1,n) +
