Comments

Alternative formula for e^(n*Pi/2) is i^(-n*i), where i = sqrt(-1). Substitute 2i for n in each identity, resulting in e^(Pi*i) = -1; Euler's formula.

A121905 is the bisection of the sequence, ceiling(e^(n*Pi)).

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..24.

Formula

a(n) = ceiling(e^(n*Pi/2)) = ceiling(i^(-n*i)).

Example

a(5) = ceiling(e^(5*Pi/2)) = ceiling(i^(-5*i)) = 2576.

Mathematica

a[n_]:=Ceiling[Exp[n Pi/2]]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 24}] (* Stefano Spezia, Aug 12 2021 *)
