%N Floor of the value of Riemann's xi function at n.
%C On the interval [1, infinity), the xi function takes real values and is (strictly) increasing, so a(n) <= a(n+1) for n >= 1.
%C Same as floor of the value of the xi function at 1-n, because of the functional equation xi(1-s) = x(s).

%e xi(1) = 1/2, so a(1) = [0.5] = 0.
%e xi(8) = (4*Pi^4)/225 = 1.7317…, so a(8) = [1.7] = 1.
