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.

A330925 For any n >= 0: consider all pairs of numbers (x, y) whose binary representations can be interleaved (or shuffled) to produce the binary representation of n (possibly with leading zeros); a(n) is the greatest possible value of x*y.

Comments

Interleaving (or shuffling) two strings means combining all their characters while preserving the order of all characters in individual strings; for example, "12345" is the interleaving of "14" and "235".

Examples

			For n = 5:
- the binary representation of 5 is "101",
- the possible values for (x, y), restricted to x >= y without loss of generality, are:
  bin(5)   x  y  x*y
  -------  -  -  ---
  "101"    5  0    0
  "1/01"   1  1    1
  "10/1"   2  1    2
  "1/0/1"  3  0    0
- hence a(5) = 2.
