%C From Trevor Green (green(AT)snoopy.usask.ca), Nov 26 2003: (Start)

%C a(n)/n has an accumulation point at x exactly when x is in the interval [1, 2]. Proof: Clearly n <= a(n) < 2n. Let b(n) = a(n)/n, then b(n) must always lie in [1,2) and all the accumulation points of the sequence must lie in [1,2]. We shall show that every such number is an accumulation point.

%C First, consider any d-bit integer n. Suppose that z of these bits are 0. Let n' be the (d+z)-bit integer whose first d bits are the same as those of n and whose remaining bits are all 1. Then a(n') will have to be the (d+z)-bit integer whose first d bits are all 1 and whose last z bits are all 0.

%C Thus n' = (n+1)*2^z-1; a(n') = (2^d-1)2^z; and b(n') = (2^d-1)/(n+1) + epsilon, where 0 < epsilon < 2^(1-d). So to get an accumulation point x, we just choose n(d) to be the d-bit integer such that (2^d-1)/(n(d)+1) < x <= (2^d-1)/n(d), or equivalently, n(d) = floor((2^d-1)/x). If x lies in [1,2), then n(d) will always be a d-bit number for sufficiently large d.

%C Then n'(d) yields an increasing subsequence of the integers for which b(n'(d)) converges to x. For x = 2, choose n(d) = 2^(d-1), which is always a d-bit number; then b(n'(d)) = (2^d-1)/(2^(d-1)+1) + epsilon = 2 + epsilon', where epsilon' also heads for 0 as d blows up. This proves the claim.
