Comments

The Fabius function F(x) is the smooth monotone increasing function on [0, 1] satisfying F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1, F'(x) = 2*F(2*x) for 0 < x < 1/2, F'(x) = 2*F(2*(1-x)) for 1/2 < x < 1. It is infinitely differentiable at every point in the interval, but is nowhere analytic. It assumes rational values at dyadic rationals.

From Juan Arias-de-Reyna, Jun 08 2017: (Start)

It is true that n! divides a(n) for all n? This is true for the first 200 terms.

If this is true A272755, the sequence of numerators of F(2^(-n)) is also the sequence of numerators of the half moments of Rvachëv function. (Cf. A288161). (End)

Formula

Recurrence: d(0) = 1, d(n) = (1/(n+1)! + Sum_{k=1..n-1} (2^(k*(k-1)/2)/(n-k+1)!)*d(k))/((2^n-1)*2^(n*(n-1)/2)), where d(n) = A272755(n)/A272757(n). - Vladimir Reshetnikov, Feb 27 2017
