Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Let x(n) denote the number of 4's among the n first elements of the continued fraction for sum k>=0 1/2^(2^k) (A007400), y(n) the number of 6's and z(n) the number of 2's. Then a(n)=x(n)-y(n)-z(n)-1.

%F It seems that a(2k+1) = 0 for k>=1.

%F The positive sequence (assuming the pattern continues) has g.f. (1+x-x^2)/((1-x)(1-x^2)), with a(n)=(1-(1)^n)/2+0^n = mod((1+A001045(n+1))/2, 2) = mod(A005578, 2). The partial sums are A008619(n+1). - _Paul Barry_, Apr 28 2004
