We observe that the numbers of 1 obtained (between the 2), that is 1, 1, 1, 2, 6, 10, 18, define a sequence v for which v(n)=2^(n-2)+2 for n>=5. In the same vein, the numbers of 2 define a sequence w: 1, 2, 1, 5, for which w(n)=7*2^(n-3)-2. This explain the explicit formulas.

FORMULA
|
For p>=1, if 9*2^p-4<=n<=11*2^p-3, then a(n)=1. For p>=0, if 11*2^p-2<=n<=9*2^(p+1)-5, then a(n)=2.

EXAMPLE
|
a(2)=a(abs(floor(1-1)))=a(0)=1. a(3)=a(abs(floor(1.5-2)))=a(abs(floor(-0.5)))=a(abs(-1))=a(1)=2. a(4)=a(2-a(2))=a(1)=2. If 9*2-4<=n<=11*2-3, that is 14<=n<=19 then a(n)=1. If 11*2-2<=n<=9*2^2-5 that is 20<=n<=31 then a(n)=2.
