%N Nearest integer to n/sqrt(2).

%C a(n) = floor(n*sqrt(2)) - floor(n/sqrt(2)). Indeed, the equation {(nearest integer to n/r) = floor(nr) - floor(n/r) for all n>=0} has exactly two solutions: sqrt(2) and -sqrt(2). - _Clark Kimberling_, Dec 18 2003

%C Let s(n) = zeta(3) - Sum_{k=1..n} 1/k^3. Conjecture: for n >=1, s(a(n)) < 1/n^2 < s(a(n)-1), and the difference sequence of A049473 consists solely of 0's and 1, in positions given by the nonhomogeneous Beatty sequences A001954 and A001953, respectively. - _Clark Kimberling_, Oct 05 2014
