Least k such that A070864(k) = 2n-1. - Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com) and Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 20 2002

With an offset of 3, beginning with 6 (deleting first two terms) n*(n+a(n)) + 1 is a cube = (n+1)^3: 1(1+6) +1 = 8, 2(2+11) +1 = 27 etc. - Amarnath Murthy and Meenakshi Srikanth (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), May 03 2003

For n>=2, a(n) is the maximum element in the continued fraction for sum(k>=1,1/n^(2^k)) (for n=2 see A006464) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jun 12 2007

Equals binomial transform of [1, 2, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1,...]. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 23 2008

Euler transform of length 6 sequence [ 3, 0, 1, 0, 0, -1]. - Michael Somos Aug 11 2009

FORMULA

a(n) = A000217(n-2)+A000217(n+1) for n>0. - Jon Perry (perry(AT)globalnet.co.uk), Jul 23 2003

G.f.: (1 + x^3) / (1 - x)^3. a(-n) = a(n). - Michael Somos Aug 11 2009

E.g.f.: (x*(x+1)+2)*e^x-1. - Gopinath A. R., Feb 14 2012

EXAMPLE

1 + 3*x + 6*x^2 + 11*x^3 + 18*x^4 + 27*x^5 + 38*x^6 + 51*x^7 + 66*x^8 + ...

MATHEMATICA

a[1] = a[2] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = 2 + a[n - a[n - 1]]; b = Table[0, {100}]; Do[c = (a[n] + 1)/2; If[c < 101 && b[[c]] == 0, b[[c]] = n], {n, 1, 10^4}]; b
