%N Partial sum of the Kolakoski sequence (A000002) minus n.

%C a(n) is the number of 2's in the Kolakoski word of length n (see first formula below). - _Jean-Christophe Hervé_, Oct 05 2014

%F a(n)=#{1<=k<=n : A000002(k)=2}. - _Benoit Cloitre_, Feb 03 2009

%F a(n) = A054353(n) - n. - _Nathaniel Johnston_, May 02 2011

%F a(n) = n - A156077(n). - _Jean-Christophe Hervé_, Oct 05 2014

%e The Kolakoski sequence is 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, ...; the partial sums are 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, ..., so the sequence is 1-1=0, 3-2=1, 5-3=2, 6-4=2, 7-5=2, 9-6=3, ... .

%t a2 = {1, 2, 2}; Do[ a2 = Join[a2, {1 + Mod[n - 1, 2]}], {n, 3, 50}, {a2[[n]]}]; a3 = Accumulate[a2]; a3 - Range[Length[a3]] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Jun 18 2013 *)

%Y Cf. A000002 (Kolakoski sequence), A054353 (partial sums of K. sequence), A156077 (number of 1's in K. sequence).

%Y Essentially partial sums of A157686.
