Formula

From Aresh Pourkavoos, Jan 26 2021: (Start)

Limit S(infinity) of the following strings: S(0) = 2, S(1) = 1, S(2) = 0, S(n+3) = S(n+2)S(n). S(n) has length A000930(n).

Individual terms of a(n) may also be found by greedily writing n as a sum of entries of A000930. a(n) is 2 if the smallest term is 1, 3 if the smallest term is 2, and 1 otherwise.

(End)

a(n) = A005374(n+1) - A005374(n) - 2*(A202340(n+1) - 2). - Alan Michael Gómez Calderón, Jul 19 2025
