FORMULA

a(n) = ceiling(c*(3/2)^n-1/2) where c = 0.3605045561966149591015446628665... - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 22, 2002

If 2^m divides a(i) then 2^(m-1)*3^1 divides a(i+1) and so on... until finally, 3^m divides a(i+m). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Apr 20 2003

MATHEMATICA

f[s_] := Append[s, Ceiling[Plus @@ s/2]]; Nest[f, {1}, 41] (from Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(at)rgwv.com), Jul 07 2006)

PROG

(PARI) v=vector(100); s=v[1]=1; for(i=2, #v, s+=(v[i]=(s+1)\2)); v \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 11 201

(Haskell)

a073941 n = a073941_list !! (n-1)

a073941_list = 1 : f [1] where

   f xs = x' : f (x':xs) where x' = (1 + sum xs) `div` 2

CROSSREFS

Same as log2(A082125(n)), for n>2. - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Apr 16 2002

Apart from initial term, same as A005428, which has further information.

a(n+4) = A079719(n)+2. Cf. A082416.

Partial sums for various start indices are in A006999, A061419, A061418. - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Apr 17 2003

Is this the same as A081848/3?

The constant c is 2/9*K(3) (see A083286). - Ralf Stephan, May 29, 2003

Sequence in context: A022859 A039884 A078620 * A005428 A143951 A058355
