A248182 Least k such that r - sum{1/C(h,[h/2]), h = 0..k} < 1/2^n, where r = sum{1/C(h,[h/2]), h = 0..infinity}. 2

%N Least k such that r - sum{1/C(h,[h/2]), h = 0..k} < 1/2^n, where r = sum{1/C(h,[h/2]), h = 0..infinity}.

%C This sequence gives a measure of the convergence rate of sum{1/C(h,[h/2]), h = 0..k}. It appears that a(n+1) - a(n) is in {2,3} for n >= 0.

%H Clark Kimberling, <a href="/A248182/b248182.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a>

%e Let s(n) = sum{1/C(2h+1,h), h = 0..n}. Approximations are shown here:

%e n ... r - s(n) ... 1/2^n

%e 0 ... 2.2092 ..... 1

%e 1 ... 1.2092 ..... 0.5

%e 2 ... 0.7092 ..... 0.25

%e 3 ... 0.375866 ... 0.125

%e 4 ... 0.2092 ..... 0.0625

%e 5 ... 0.1092 ..... 0.0635

%e 6 ... 0.05919 .... 0.0156

%e 7 ... 0.03063 .... 0.007812

%e 8 ... 0.01634 .... 0.003906

%e 9 ... 0.00840 .... 0.001953

%e a(6) = 9 because r - s(9) < 1/64 < r - s(8).

%t z = 300; p[k_] := p[k] = Sum[1/Binomial[h, Floor[h/2]], {h, 0, k}];

%t r = N[Sum[1/Binomial[h, Floor[h/2]], {h, 0, 1000}], 20] (* A248181 *)

%t N[Table[r - p[n], {n, 0, z/10}]]

%t f[n_] := f[n] = Select[Range[z], r - p[#] < 1/2^n &, 1]
