A246314 Number of odd terms in f^n, where f = 1/x^2+1/x+1+x+x^2+1/y^2+1/y+y+y^2. 2

%N Number of odd terms in f^n, where f = 1/x^2+1/x+1+x+x^2+1/y^2+1/y+y+y^2.

%C This is the number of ON cells in a certain 2-D CA in which the neighborhood of a cell is defined by f (a cross containing 9 cells), and in which a cell is ON iff there was an odd number of ON cells in the neighborhood at the previous generation.

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A246314/b246314.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..512</a>

%F The values of a(n) for n in A247647 (or A247648) determine all the values, as follows. Parse the binary expansion of n into terms from A247647 separated by at least two zeros: m_1 0...0 m_2 0...0 m_3 ... m_r 0...0. Ignore any number (one or more) of trailing zeros. Then a(n) = a(m_1)*a(m_2)*...*a(m_r). For example, n = 37_10 = 100101_2 is parsed into 1.00.101, and so a(37) = a(1)*a(5) = 9*65 = 585. This is a generalization of the Run Length Transform.

%e Here is the neighborhood:

%e [0, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e [X, X, X, X, X]

%e [0, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e which contains a(1) = 9 ON cells.

%e The second and third generations are:

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [X, 0, X, 0, X, 0, X, 0, X] (again with 9 ON cells)

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, X, X, 0, X, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, X, 0, 0, X, X, X, 0, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, X, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e [X, X, 0, 0, X, 0, X, 0, X, 0, 0, X, X] (with 37 ON cells)

%e [0, 0, X, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, X, 0, 0, X, X, X, 0, 0, X, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, X, X, 0, X, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

%e The terms can be arranged into blocks of sizes 1,1,2,4,8,16,32,...:

%e 1,

%e 9,

%e 9, 37,

%e 9, 65, 37, 157,
