A338629 Number of integers less than n with the same period of continued fraction for square root as n. 1

%N Number of integers less than n with the same period of continued fraction for square root as n.

%H Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PeriodicContinuedFraction.html">Periodic Continued Fraction</a>

%F a(n) = |{j < n : A003285(j) = A003285(n)}|.

%e a(11) = 3 because A003285(11) = 2 and also A003285(3) = A003285(6) = A003285(8) = 2.

%e More specifically,

%e sqrt(3) = 1 + 1/(1 + 1/(2 + 1/(1 + 1/(2 + ...)))),

%e sqrt(6) = 2 + 1/(2 + 1/(4 + 1/(2 + 1/(4 + ...)))),

%e sqrt(8) = 2 + 1/(1 + 1/(4 + 1/(1 + 1/(4 + ...)))),

%e sqrt(11) = 3 + 1/(3 + 1/(6 + 1/(3 + 1/(6 + ...)))).

%p f:= proc(n) if issqr(n) then 0 else nops(numtheory:-cfrac(sqrt(n),periodic,quotients)[2]) fi end proc:

%p V:= map(f, [$1..200]):

%p seq(numboccur(V[n], V[1..n-1]),n=1..200); # _Robert Israel_, Nov 06 2020
