%C Simple continued fraction expansion of 1 + sqrt(3/2) = A176051. - _R. J. Mathar_, Mar 08 2012
%C Number of linear characters of dihedral group of order 2(n+1). - _Eric M. Schmidt_, Feb 12 2013
%C a(n) is the n-th increment between two consecutive elements of the wheel in the wheel factorization with the basis {2, 3}. See A038179. - _Wojciech Raszka_, May 10 2019
%C In base 3, make a sequence such that after the initial term 2, each term is the sum of the squares of the digits of the previous term. That's this sequence (see A000216 for the base 10 version). - _Alonso del Arte_, Mar 19 2020
