%N Ternary digital root of n.

%C Continued fraction expansion of sqrt(3) - 1. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Dec 17 2007. Cf. A040001, A048878/A002530.

%C Minimum number of terms required to express n as a sum of odd numbers.

%C Shadow transform of even numbers A005843. - _Michel Marcus_, Jun 06 2013

%C From _Jianing Song_, Nov 01 2022: (Start)

%C For n > 0, a(n) is the minimal gap of distinct numbers coprime to n. Proof: denote the minimal gap by b(n). For odd n we have A058026(n) > 0, hence b(n) = 1. For even n, since 1 and -1 are both coprime to n we have b(n) <= 2, and that b(n) >= 2 is obvious.

%C The maximal gap is given by A048669. (End)
