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.

A236855 a(n) is the sum of digits in A239903(n).

Examples

			As the 0th Catalan String is empty, indicated by A239903(0)=0, a(0)=0.
As the 18th Catalan String is [1,0,1,2] (A239903(18)=1012), a(18) = 1+0+1+2 = 4.
Note that although the range of validity of A239903 is inherently limited by the decimal representation employed, it doesn't matter here: We have a(58785) = 55, as the corresponding 58785th Catalan String is [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], even though A239903 cannot represent that unambiguously.

Formula

a(n) = A034968(x) - A060130(x), where x = A071155(A081291(n)).
For up to n = A000108(11)-2 = 58784, a(n) = A007953(A239903(n)).
Catalan numbers, A000108, give the positions of ones, and the n-th triangular number occurs for the first time at the position immediately before that, i.e., a(A001453(n)) = A000217(n-1).
For each n, a(n) >= A000217(A236859(n)).
