(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A120229 Split-floor-multiplier sequence (SFMS) using multipliers 1/3 and 3. The SFMS using multipliers r and s is here introduced: for every positive integer n and positive real number r, let [rn] abbreviate floor(rn). Then SFMS(r, s), where max {r, s}>1, is the sequence a defined by a(n)=[rn] if [rn]>0 and is not already in a and a(n)=[sn] otherwise. 10

REFERENCES

Responses to message "Murthy's sequence A073675" to seqfan(AT)ext.jussieu.fr. The message and responses are dated Feb. 2, 2006 and relate to generalizations and properties of sequence A073675, which is SFMS(1/2,2).

FORMULA

a(n)=[n/3] if this is positive and new, else a(n)=3n.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=1*3 because [1/3] is not positive.

a(2)=2*3 because [2/3] is not positive.

a(3)=1=[3*(1/3)].

a(4)=4*3 because [4/3]=a(3), not new.
