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.

Comments

Initialized with a single black (ON) cell at stage zero.
Rules 38, 70, 102, 134, 166, 198 and 230 also generate this sequence.
Apparently a duplicate of A003947. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 09 2016

Programs

    rule=6; stages=300;
ca=CellularAutomaton[{rule,{2,{{0,2,0},{2,1,2},{0,2,0}}},{1,1}},{{{1}},0},stages]; (* Start with single black cell *)

Formula

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Mar 08 2016: (Start)
a(n) = 5*4^(n-1) for n>0.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) for n>1.
G.f.: (1+x) / (1-4*x).
(End)
