COMMENTS

This sequence is the imaginary part of {f(n)} defined as:

- f(0) = 0,

- f(n+1) = f(n) + i^t(n)

where t(n) is the number of 1's and 6's minus the number of 3's and 4's

in the base 8 representation of n

and i denotes the imaginary unit.

FORMULA

a(8^k-m) = -a(m) for any k >= 0 and m = 0..8^k.

PROG

(PARI) { dd = [0, 1, 0, -1, -1, 0, 1, 0]; z=0; for (n=0, 77, print1 (imag(z)", "); z += I^vecsum(apply(d -> dd[1+d], digits(n, #dd)))) }
