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.

A248575 Rounded sums of the non-integer cube roots of n, as partitioned by the integer roots: round(Sum_{j=n^3+1..(n+1)^3-1} j^(1/3)).

Comments

The fractional portions of each sum converge to 1/4 and 3/4, alternately.
The corresponding sums for square roots are given by A014105.
See A247112 for additional references to similar sequences and a conjecture.

Formula

a(n) = round(Sum_{j=n^3+1..(n+1)^3-1} j^(1/3)).
a(n) = ((n+1)*a(n-2) + 3*a(n-1) - 30)/(n-2) - 20.
(Thanks to Mathematica for finding the recursive formula from the first 12 terms, as a DifferenceRoot, reformatted here for OEIS format and verified to n = 100. I could not "coax" Mathematica to produce a simple non-recursive formula, but I suspect one exists.)
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) + 3*a(n-4) - a(n-5), for n > 5. This implies that the digital roots (A010888) of the terms are cyclic with a period of eighteen. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Dec 13 2014
From Colin Barker, Dec 30 2014: (Start)
a(n) = (1-(-1)^n + 8*n + 18*n^2 + 12*n^3)/4.
G.f.: 2*x*(5*x^2 + 8*x + 5) / ((x-1)^4*(x+1)). (End)
From Amrit Awasthi, Jul 08 2024: (Start)
a(2n) = 24*n^3 + 18*n^2 + 4*n.
a(2n-1) = 24*n^3 - 18*n^2 + 4*n, for n >= 1. (End)
E.g.f.: (x*(19 +27*x + 6*x^2)*cosh(x) + (1 + 19*x + 27*x^2 + 6*x^3)*sinh(x))/2. - Stefano Spezia, Jul 17 2024
