%F From _Hieronymus Fischer_, Apr 20 2014: (Start)

%F Formulas for a general parameter b according to a(n) = b^i + b^j, i>j>=0; b = 2 for this sequence.

%F a(n) = b^i + b^j, where i = floor((sqrt(8n - 1) + 1)/2), j = n - 1 - i*(i - 1)/2 [for a Smalltalk implementation see Prog section, method distinctPowersOf: b (2 versions)].

%F a(A000217(n)) = (b + 1)*b^(n-1) = b^n + b^(n-1).

%F a(A000217(n)+1) = 1 + b^(n+1).

%F a(n + 1 + floor((sqrt(8n - 1) + 1)/2)) = b*a(n).

%F a(n + 1 + floor(log_b(a(n)))) = b*a(n).

%F a(n + 1) = b^2/(b+1) * a(n) + 1, if n is a triangular number (s. A000217).

%F a(n + 1) = b*a(n) + (1-b)* b^floor((sqrt(8n - 1) + 1)/2), if n is not a triangular number.

%F The next term can also be calculated without using the index n. Let m be a term and i = floor(log_b(m)), then:

%F a(n + 1) = b*m + (1-b)* b^i, if floor(log_b(m/(b+1))) + 1 < i,

%F a(n + 1) = b^2/(b+1) * m + 1, if floor(log_b(m/(b+1))) + 1 = i.

%F Partial sum:

%F Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = (((b-1)*(j+1)+i-1)*b^(i-j) + b)*b^j - i)/(b-1), where i = floor((sqrt(8n - 1) + 1)/2), j = n - 1 - i*(i - 1)/2.

%F Inverse:

%F For each sequence term m, the index n such that a(n) = m is determined by n := i*(i-1)/2 + j + 1, where i := floor(log_b(m)), j := floor(log_b(m - b^floor(log_b(m)))) [for a Smalltalk implementation see Prog section, method invertedDistinctPowersOf: b].

%F Inequalities:

%F a(n) <= (b+1)/b * b^floor(sqrt(2n)+1/2), equality holds for triangular numbers.

%F a(n) > b^floor(sqrt(2n)+1/2).

%F a(n) < b^sqrt(2n)*sqrt(b).

%F a(n) > b^sqrt(2n)/sqrt(b).

%F Asymptotic behavior:

%F lim sup a(n)/b^sqrt(2n) = sqrt(b).

%F lim inf a(n)/b^sqrt(2n) = 1/sqrt(b).

%F lim sup a(n)/b^(floor(sqrt(2n))) = b.

%F lim inf a(n)/b^(floor(sqrt(2n))) = 1.

%F lim sup a(n)/b^(floor(sqrt(2n)+1/2)) = (b+1)/b.

%F lim inf a(n)/b^(floor(sqrt(2n)+1/2)) = 1.
