FORMULA

Comments from Hieronymus Fischer, Jan 02 2009 (Start): Set c:=1+sqrt(2). Then the fractional part of c^n equals 1/c^n, if n odd. For even n, the fractional part of c^n is equal to 1-(1/c^n).
c:=1+sqrt(2) satisfies c-c^(-1)=floor(c)=2, hence c^n + (-c)^(-n) = round(c^n) for n>0, which follows from the general formula of A001622.
1/c = sqrt(2)-1.
See A001622 for a general formula concerning the fractional parts of powers of numbers x>1, which suffice x-x^(-1)=floor(x).
Other examples of constants x satisfying the relation x-x^(-1)=floor(x) include A001622 (the golden ratio: where floor(x)=1) and A098316 (the "bronze" ratio: where floor(x)=3). (End)
1+sqrt(2) = A179807(n+1)/A179807(n) as n --> infinity. (conjecture)
Equals cot(Pi/8). [Bruno Berselli, Dec 13 2012]
Silver mean = 2 + sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/(P(n-1)*P(n)), where P(n) is the n-th Pell number (A000129). - Vladimir Shevelev, Feb 22 2013
