A060011 Schizophrenic sequence: these are the repeating digits in the decimal expansion of sqrt(f(2n+1)), where f(m) = A014824(m). 1

COMMENTS

The repeating strings that form the sequence 1 5 6 2 4 9 6 3 9... become progressively smaller and the irregular strings increase, until eventually the repeating strings disappear. With larger odd values of n however, the demise of the repeating digits slows down.
