COMMENTS

Limit of convergents equals zero; only the 6-th convergent is indeterminate. Other 2-adic continued fractions of zero are: A118821, A118824, A118830. A006519(n) is the highest power of 2 dividing n; A080277 = partial sums of A038712, where A038712(n) = 2*A006519(n) - 1.

EXAMPLE

For n>=1, convergents A118828(k)/A118829(k) are:

at k = 4*n: -1/(2*A080277(n));

at k = 4*n+1: -1/(2*A080277(n)-1);

at k = 4*n+2: -1/(2*A080277(n)-2);

at k = 4*n-1: 0.

Convergents begin:

1/1, -1/-2, 0/-1, -1/2, -1/1, 1/0, 0/1, 1/-8,

1/-7, -1/6, 0/-1, -1/10, -1/9, 1/-8, 0/1, 1/-24,

1/-23, -1/22, 0/-1, -1/26, -1/25, 1/-24, 0/1, 1/-32,

1/-31, -1/30, 0/-1, -1/34, -1/33, 1/-32, 0/1, 1/-64, ...

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=local(p=+1, q=-2); if(n%2==1, p, q*2^valuation(n/2, 2))
