COMMENTS

a(n+1)/a(n) >= 2 for all n. Is a(n+1)/a(n) bounded? Up to n=160, the maximum value is a(31)/a(30)=2.5125261124174184479... - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 17 2003

a(n) == 23 (mod 24) for all n>=5. - Dean Hickerson (dean.hickerson(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 20 2003

a(n) = partial sums of A165929(n). [From Jaroslav Krizek, Sep 30 2009]
