%N Let x(1)=1, x(n+1) = (4/3)*x(n) - floor((4/3)*x(n)); then a(n)=x(n)*3^n.

%C It seems that the sequence x(n) = a(n)/3^n which satisfies 0<x(n)<1 is not equidistributed in (0,1) and perhaps lim n -> infinity sum(k=1,n,x(k))/n = C < 0.38 < 1/2

%C It appears that a(n) = 13*4^(n-5) for n > 4. - _Creighton Dement_, Nov 04 2004

%C This is not true, as a(16) mod 13 = 10. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Jun 05 2015
