A069283 a(n) = -1 + number of odd divisors of n. 18

%I #125 Dec 01 2023 06:14:03

%S 0,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,0,2,1,1,1,1,1,3,0,1,2,1,1,3,1,1,1,2,1,3,1,1,3,1,0,3,

%T 1,3,2,1,1,3,1,1,3,1,1,5,1,1,1,2,2,3,1,1,3,3,1,3,1,1,3,1,1,5,0,3,3,1,

%N a(n) = -1 + number of odd divisors of n.

%C Number of nontrivial ways to write n as sum of at least 2 consecutive integers. That is, we are not counting the trivial solution n=n. E.g., a(9)=2 because 9 = 4 + 5 and 9 = 2 + 3 + 4. a(8)=0 because there are no integers m and k such that m + (m+1) + ... + (m+k-1) = 8 apart from k=1, m=8. - _Alfred Heiligenbrunner_, Jun 07 2004

%C Also number of sums of sequences of consecutive positive integers excluding sequences of length 1 (e.g., 9 = 2+3+4 or 4+5 so a(9)=2). (Useful for cribbage players.) - Michael Gilleland, Dec 29 2002

%C Let M be any positive integer. Then a(n) = number of proper divisors of M^n + 1 of the form M^k + 1.

%C This sequence gives the distinct differences of triangular numbers Ti giving n : n = Ti - Tj; none if n = 2^k. If factor a = n or a > (n/a - 1)/2 : i = n/a + (a - 1)/2; j = n/a - (a+1)/2. Else : i = n/2a + (2a - 1)/2; j = n/2a - (2a - 1)/2. Examples: 7 is prime; 7 = T4 - T2 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) - (1 + 2) (a = 7; n/a = 1). The odd factors of 35 are 35, 7 and 5; 35 = T18 - T16 (a = 35) = T8 - T1 (a = 7) = T5 - T7 (a = 5). 144 = T20 - T11 (a = 9) = T49 - T46 (a = 3). - M. Dauchez (mdzzdm(AT)yahoo.fr), Oct 31 2005

%C Also number of partitions of n into the form 1 + 2 + ...( k - 1) + k + k + ... + k for some k >= 2. Example: a(9) = 2 because we have [2, 2, 2, 2, 1] and [3, 3, 2, 1]. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Mar 04 2006

%C a(n) is the number of nontrivial runsum representations of n, and is also known as the politeness of n. - _Ant King_, Nov 20 2010

%C Also number of nonpowers of 2 dividing n, divided by the number of powers of 2 dividing n, n > 0. - _Omar E. Pol_, Aug 24 2019

%C a(n) only depends on the prime signature of A000265(n). - _David A. Corneth_, May 30 2020, corrected by _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Oct 31 2021

%F a(n) = A001227(A000265(n)) - 1. (End)

%F Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ n*log(n)/2 + (gamma + log(2)/2 - 3/2)*n, where gamma is Euler's constant (A001620). - _Amiram Eldar_, Dec 01 2023

%e a(14) = 1 because the divisors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, 14, and of these, two are odd, 1 and 7, and -1 + 2 = 1.

%e a(15) = 3 because the divisors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15, and of these, all four are odd, and -1 + 4 = 3.

%e a(16) = 0 because 16 has only one odd divisor, and -1 + 1 = 0.

%e Using Ant King's formula: a(90) = 5 as 90 = 2^1 * 3^2 * 5^1, so a(90) = (1 + 2) * (1 + 1) - 1 = 5. - _Giovanni Ciriani_, Jan 12 2013

%e a(120) = 3 as the odd divisors of 120 are the odd divisors of 15 as 120 = 15*2^3. 15 has 4 odd divisors so that gives a(120) = 4 - 1 = 3. - _David A. Corneth_, May 30 2020
