COMMENTS

The 2-adic order of Fibonacci(3n) [Lengyel]. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 05 2008]

LINKS

T. Lengyel, The order of the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Fib. Quart. 33 (1995), 234-239. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 05 2008]

FORMULA

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = e+2 if p = 2; 1 if p > 2. G.f.: A(x) = 1/(1-x^2) + sum_{k=0..infinity} x^(2^k)/(1-x^(2^k)). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jan 19 2004

G.f.: sum_{k=0..inf} t(1+2t+t^2+t^3)/(1-t^4) with t=x^2^k. Recurrence: a(2n) = a(n) + 1 + [n odd], a(2n+1) = 1. (Ralf Stephan, Jan 23 2004)

EXAMPLE

n=2: -1+3^2=8.1 so a(2)=3;

MATHEMATICA

Table[Part[Flatten[FactorInteger[ -1+3^n]], 2], {n, 1, 70}]

PROG

a(n)=if(n<1, 0, if(n%2==0, a(n/2)+1+(n/2)%2, 1)) (Ralf Stephan, Jan 23 2004)
