COMMENTS

See A048899 for the successive approximations to this 5-adic integer, called -u in a comment on A048898.

The digits of u, the other 5-adic integer sqrt(-1), are given in A210850.

a(n) is the (unique) solution of the linear congruence 2*A048899(n)*a(n) + A210849(n) == 0 (mod 5), n>=1. Therefore only the values 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 appear. See the Nagell reference given in A210848, eq. (6) on p. 86 adapted to this case. a(0)=3 follows from the formula given below.

If a(n)=0 then A048899(n+1) and A048899(n) coincide.

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..99.

FORMULA

a(n) = (b(n+1) - b(n))/5^n, n>=0, with b(n):=A048899(n) computed from its recurrence. A Maple program for b(n) is given there.

A048899(n+1) = sum(a(k)*5^k, k=0..n), n>=0.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 3 because 2*68*3 + 37 == 0 (mod 5).

A048899(4) = 443 = 3*5^0 + 3*5^1 + 2*5^2 + 3*5^3.

a(5) = 0 because A048899(6) = A048899(5) = 3*5^0 + 3*5^1 + 2*5^2 + 3*5^3 + 1*5^4 = 1068.
