A101917 G.f. satisfies: A(x) = 1/(1 + x*A(x^7)) and also the continued fraction: 1+x*A(x^8) = [1;1/x,1/x^7,1/x^49,1/x^343,...,1/x^(7^(n-1)),...]. 3

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+x^7) / (1+x+x^7) (conjectured). - Ralf Stephan, May 17 2007

The conjecture is wrong. This G.f. produces a look-a-like of A101917. The first difference occurs at a(57) = - -153367. The G.f. gives a(57) = -153366. [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 08 2011]

MAPLE

nmax:=57: kmax:=nmax: for k from 0 to kmax do A:= proc(x): add(A101917(n)*x^n, n=0..k) end: f(x):=series(1/(1 + x*A(x^7)), x, k+1); for n from 0 to k do x(n):=coeff(f(x), x, n) od: A101917(k):=x(k): od: seq(A101917(n), n=0..nmax); # [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 08 2011]

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=local(A); A=1-x; for(i=1, n\7+1, A=1/(1+x*subst(A, x, x^7)+x*O(x^n))); polcoeff(A, n, x)} (PARI) {a(n)=local(M=contfracpnqn(concat(1, vector(ceil(log(n+1)/log(7))+1, n, 1/x^(7^(n-1)))))); polcoeff(M[1, 1]/M[2, 1]+x*O(x^(8*n+1)), 8*n+1)}
