Ivan Neretin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000

Formula

a(n) = tau^(2-tau)*(2n)^(tau-1)+O(n^(tau-1)/log(n)) where tau is the golden ratio.

Example

Read 1,3,3,3,5,5,5,7,7,7,9,9,9,9,9,11,11,11,11,11, as 1,(3,3,3),(5,5,5),(7,7,7),(9,9,9,9,9),(11,11,11,11,11), count occurrences between 2 parentheses, gives 1,3,3,3,5,5,... which is the sequence itself.

Prog

(PARI) a=[1, 3, 3, 3]; for(n=3, 20, for(i=1, a[n], a=concat(a, 2*n-1))); a
