COMMENTS

a(n) is the number of positive squares <= 2^n (cf. A136417). - Hans Havermann, Apr 05 2008

If expressed to two significant figures, these are the f-stop numbers in photography: 1, 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22 ...

There are also "half stops" (sqrt(2)^(n/2)) and

"third stops" (sqrt(2)^(n/3)):1, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8,  2.0,  2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3.2, 3.6, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.7, 6.3, 7.1, 8, 9, 10
