COMMENTS

Coefficients in the unique expansion of e/4 = Sum[a(n)/n!, n>=1], where a(n) satisfies 0<=a(n)<n-1.

FORMULA

a(n)=0 if n=4k, a(n)=k if n=4k+1, a(n)=2k+1 if n=4k+2 and a(n)=k+1 if n=4k+3.

a(n) = floor(n!*e/4) - n*floor((n-1)!*e/4). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Dec 07 2002

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, if (mod(nk, 4)=2, 1, 0)}. E.g. a(6)=#{1, 3, 5}=3. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 10 2003

O.g.f.: x^2(1-x+x^2)/((x-1)^2*(1+x^2)^2). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 13 2008

EXAMPLE

sum(i=1,10,a(i)/i!)=0.6795703813... exp(1)/4=0.679570457...

MATHEMATICA

a = Table[0, {i, 1, 50}]; x = Exp[1]/4; For[n = 2, n <= 51, n++, { an = 0; While [(x >= (1/n!)) && (an < (n - 1)), {an++, x = x - (1/n!)} ]}; a[[n - 1]] = an; ]; a
