COMMENTS

Continued fraction expansion of sqrt(3) - 1. - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Dec 17 2007. Cf. A040001, A048878/A002530.

a(A005408(n)) = 1; a(A005843(n)) = 2 for n>0;

a(n) = if n=0 then 0 else A000034(n-1).

Minimum number of terms required to express n as a sum of odd numbers.

FORMULA

a(n) = if n<=2 then n else a(A053735(n)).

a(n) = -1/2+[(-1)^n]/2+2*[(n+2) mod (n+1)], with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Oct 29 2007

EXAMPLE

n=42: A007089(42) = '1120', A053735(42) = 1+1+2+0 = 4,

A007089(4)='11', A053735(4)=1+1=2: therefore a(42) = 2.

0.732050807568877293527446341... = 0 + 1/(1 + 1/(2 + 1/(1 + 1/(2 + ...)))) [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), May 31 2009]
