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.

a(n+1) = a(n) converted to base 8 from base 2 (written in base 10).
Number of disjunctive-normal forms of n-1 variables (either with x, or x-negated or without x). - Labos Elemer, Jul 24 2003
a(n)*Psi(3^n,x), with the (monic) minimal polynomial Psi(3^n,x) of cos(2*Pi/3^n), becomes an integer polynomial with coefficient 1 of x^0.
E.g., 8*Psi(9,x)=8*(x^3 - (3/4)*x + 1/8) = 8*x^3 - 6*x + 1.

Comments

An explicit formula for a(n) is not known, although it arises from a recurrence and the corresponding denominators are simply 3^((3^n + 1)/2) = 3*A134799(n).
Next term is too large to include.

Examples

			a(1) = 4 because b(1) = (3/2)*(1/3)*(1 - 1/9) = 4/9.
1/3, 4/9, 130/243, 2739685/4782969, ... = A376870(n)/(3*A134799(n)).
