A058842 From Renyi's "beta expansion of 1 in base 3/2": sequence gives a(1), a(2), ... where x(n) = a(n)/2^n, with 0 < a(n) < 2^n, a(1) = 1, a(n) = 3*a(n-1) modulo 2^n. 5

COMMENTS

Let r be a real number strictly between 1 and 2, x any real number between 0 and 1; define y = (y(i)) by x(0) = x; x(i+1) = r*x(i)-1 if r*x(i)>1 and r*x(i) otherwise; y(i) = integer part of x(i+1): y = (y(i)) is an infinite word on the alphabet (0,1). Here we take r = 3/2 and x = 1.

It seems that the sequence x(n) = a(n)/2^n which satisfies 0<x(n)<1 is not equidistributed in (0,1) and perhaps lim n -> infinity sum(k=1,n,x(k))/n = C < 0.4 < 1/2 - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 27 2002

FORMULA

Let x(1)=1 x(n+1)=(3/2)*x(n) -floor((3/2)*x(n)); then a(n)=x(n)*2^n - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 27 2002

MATHEMATICA

x[1] = 1; x[n_] := x[n] = (3/2)*x[n-1] - Floor[(3/2)*x[n-1]]; a[n_] := x[n+1]*2^(n); Table[a[n], {n, 1, 33}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Oct 13 2011, after Benoit Cloitre *)

PROG

(Haskell)

import Data.Ratio ((%), numerator, denominator)

a058842 n = a058842_list !! (n-1)

a058842_list = map numerator (renyi 1 []) where

   renyi :: Rational -> [Rational] -> [Rational]

   renyi x xs = r : renyi r (x:xs) where

      r = q - fromInteger ((numerator q) `div` (denominator q))

      q = 3%2 * x
