Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N a(n) = A137804(A001951(n)).

%C This is the second of four sequences that partition the positive integers. Suppose that u = (u(n)) and v = (v(n)) are increasing sequences of positive integers. Let u' and v' be their (increasing) complements, and consider these four sequences:

%C (1) v o u, defined by (v o u)(n) = v(u(n));

%C (2) v' o u;

%C (3) v o u';

%C (4) v' o u'.

%C Every positive integer is in exactly one of the four sequences.

%C For the reverse composites, u o v, u o v', u' o v, u' o v', see A356056 to A356059.

%C Assume that if w is any of the sequences u, v, u', v', then lim_{n->oo) w(n)/n exists and defines the (limiting) density of w. For w = u,v,u',v', denote the densities by r,s,r',s'. Then the densities of sequences (1)-(4) exist, and

%C 1/(r*r') + 1/(r*s') + 1/(s*s') + 1/(s*r') = 1.

%C For A356139, u, v, u', v', are the Beatty sequences given by u(n) = floor(n*sqrt(2)) and v(n) = floor(n*(1/2 + sqrt(2)), so that r = sqrt(2), s = 1/2 + sqrt(2), r' = 2 + sqrt(2), s' = (9 + 4*sqrt(2))/7.
