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.

A368274 a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, for n >= 2, a(n) = a(n-1) - 6*floor(median(a)) - 9*floor(mean(a)). Median(a) and mean(a) are respectively the median and mean of all previous terms.

Empirically the system a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + A*floor(median(a)) + B*floor(mean(a)) shows five different forms of behavior which are specified by the parameters A and B: exponential growth (e.g., A = 1, B = 1), exponential decline (e.g., A = -2, B = 3), periodic (e.g., A = -4, B = 3), quasi-periodic (e.g., A = -9, B = -9), and chaotic (e.g., A = 2, B = -1). Trials were computed for A, B from [-20, 20] and n from [0, 4*10^4].

Examples

			a(0) = 0; a(1) = 1; a(2) = 1 - 6*floor(median(0,1)) - 9*floor(mean(0,1)) = 1.
