COMMENTS

Do any other values appear than 1 and 2? The 2's seem to be getting rarer, as zeros correspondingly get rarer in A232750. This has some implications about how the ratio A005228(n)/A232739(n) will develop. Please see also the comments and graph-drawing link in A232739.

FORMULA

a(n) = A232753(A005228(n+1)) - A232753(A005228(n)).

EXAMPLE

The two sequences begin as:

A005228: 1, 3, 7, 12, 18, 26, 35, 45, 56, 69, 83, ...

A232739: 2, 4,6, 9, 13,17, 22, 28,34, 41, 49, 58,67, 77, ...

Grouping together the terms of A232739 that occur between two successive terms of A232739, we get {2}, {4,6}, {9}, {13,17}, {22}, {28,34}, {41}, {49}, {58,67}, {77}, ... and counting how many terms are in each such group, we get 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, ..., the first terms of this sequence.
