A055246 At step number k >= 1 the 2^(k-1) open intervals that are erased from [0,1] in the Cantor middle-third set construction are I(k,n) = (a(n)/3^k, (1+a(n))/3^k), n=1..2^(k-1). 11

%N At step number k >= 1 the 2^(k-1) open intervals that are erased from [0,1] in the Cantor middle-third set construction are I(k,n) = (a(n)/3^k, (1+a(n))/3^k), n=1..2^(k-1).

%C Related to A005836. Gives boundaries of open intervals that have to be erased in the Cantor middle-third set construction.

%C Let g(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} (i*binomial(n+i,i)^3*binomial(n,i)^2) = A112035(n). Let b = {m>0 : g(m) != 0 (mod 3)}. Then b(n) = a(n). - Mohammed Bouayoun (bouyao(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 08 2004

%C Conjecture: Similarly to A191107, this increasing sequence is generated by the rules: a(1) = 1, and if x is in the sequence, then 3*x-2 and 3*x+4 are also in the sequence. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Nov 17 2015
