Comments

For more details on this type of expansion, see A233582.

The cases with aperiodic expansions are listed in A233593.

All the listed cases become periodic after just two leading terms (it is a conjecture that this behavior is general); the validity of their expansions was explicitly tested.

Example

Blazys's expansion of sqrt(2) is {1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, ...}, i.e., it has a periodic termination. Consequently, 2 is a term of this sequence.
