Numbers n such that phi(4n) = phi(3n). - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 06 2003
Or, numbers relatively prime to 2 and 3, or coprime to 6, or having only prime factors >= 5; also known as 5-rough numbers. (Edited by M. F. Hasler, Nov 01 2014: merged with comments from Zak Seidov, Apr 26 2007 and Michael B. Porter, Oct 09 2009)
Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cuspidal newforms for Gamma_0( 38 ).
Numbers k such that k mod 2 = 1 and (k+1) mod 3 <> 1. - Klaus Brockhaus, Jun 15 2004
Also numbers n such that the sum of the squares of the first n integers is divisible by n, or A000330(n) = n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6 is divisible by n. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jan 04 2007
Numbers n such that the sum of squares of n consecutive integers is divisible by n, because A000330(m+n) - A000330(m) = n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6 + n*(m^2+n*m+m) is divisible by n independent of m. - Kaupo Palo, Dec 10 2016
A126759(a(n)) = n + 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 16 2008
Terms of this sequence (starting from the second term) are equal to the result of the expression sqrt(4!*(k+1) + 1) - but only when this expression yields integral values (that is when the parameter k takes values, which are terms of A144065). - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Sep 09 2008
For n > 1: a(n) is prime if and only if A075743(n-2) = 1; a(2*n-1) = A016969(n-1), a(2*n) = A016921(n-1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 02 2008
A156543 is a subsequence. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 10 2009
Numbers n such that ChebyshevT(x, x/2) is not an integer (is integer/2). - Artur Jasinski, Feb 13 2010
If 12*k + 1 is a perfect square (k = 0, 2, 4, 10, 14, 24, 30, 44, ... = A152749) then the square root of 12*k + 1 = a(n). - Gary Detlefs, Feb 22 2010
A089128(a(n)) = 1. Complement of A047229(n+1) for n >= 1. See A164576 for corresponding values A175485(a(n)). - Jaroslav Krizek, May 28 2010
Cf. property described by Gary Detlefs in A113801 and in Comment: more generally, these numbers are of the form (2*h*n+(h-4)*(-1)^n-h)/4 (with h, n natural numbers), therefore ((2*h*n+(h-4)*(-1)^n-h)/4)^2-1 == 0 (mod h); in this case, a(n)^2 - 1 == 0 (mod 6). Also a(n)^2 - 1 == 0 (mod 12). - Bruno Berselli, Nov 05 2010 - Nov 17 2010
Numbers n such that ( Sum_{k = 1..n} k^14 ) mod n = 0. (Conjectured) - Gary Detlefs, Dec 27 2011
From Peter Bala, May 02 2018: (Start)
The above conjecture is true. Apply Ireland and Rosen, Proposition 15.2.2. with m = 14 to obtain the congruence 6*( Sum_{k = 1..n} k^14 )/n = 7 (mod n), true for all n >= 1. Suppose n is coprime to 6, then 6 is a unit in Z/nZ, and it follows from the congruence that ( Sum_{k = 1..n} k^14 )/n is an integer. On the other hand, if either 2 divides n or 3 divides n then the congruence shows that ( Sum_{k = 1..n} k^14 )/n cannot be integral. (End)
A126759(a(n)) = n and A126759(m) < n for m < a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 23 2013
(a(n-1)^2 - 1)/24 = A001318(n), the generalized pentagonal numbers. - Richard R. Forberg, May 30 2013
Numbers k for which A001580(k) is divisible by 3. - Bruno Berselli, Jun 18 2014
Numbers n such that sigma(n) + sigma(2n) = sigma(3n). - Jahangeer Kholdi and Farideh Firoozbakht, Aug 15 2014
a(n) are values of k such that Sum_{m = 1..k-1} m*(k-m)/k is an integer. Sums for those k are given by A062717. Also see Detlefs formula below based on A062717. - Richard R. Forberg, Feb 16 2015
a(n) are exactly those positive integers m such that the sequence b(n) = n*(n + m)*(n + 2*m)/6 is integral, and also such that the sequence c(n) = n*(n + m)*(n + 2*m)*(n + 3*m)/24 is integral. Cf. A007775. - Peter Bala, Nov 13 2015
Along with 2, these are the numbers k such that the k-th Fibonacci number is coprime to every Lucas number. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 21 2016
This sequence is the Engel expansion of 1F2(1; 5/6, 7/6; 1/36) + 1F2(1; 7/6, 11/6; 1/36)/5. - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Dec 16 2016
The sequence a(n), n >= 4 is generated by the successor of the pair of polygonal numbers {P_s(4) + 1, P_(2*s - 1)(3) + 1}, s >= 3. - Ralf Steiner, May 25 2018
The asymptotic density of this sequence is 1/3. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 18 2020
Also, the only vertices in the odd Collatz tree A088975 that are branch values to other odd nodes t == 1 (mod 2) of A005408. - Heinz Ebert, Apr 14 2021
From Flávio V. Fernandes, Aug 01 2021: (Start)
For any two terms j and k, the product j*k is also a term (the same property as p^n and smooth numbers).
From a(2) to a(phi(A033845(n))), or a((A033845(n))/3), the terms are the totatives of the A033845(n) itself. (End)
Also orders n for which cyclic and semicyclic diagonal Latin squares exist (see A123565 and A342990). - Eduard I. Vatutin, Jul 11 2023
If k is in the sequence, then k*2^m + 3 is also in the sequence, for all m > 0. - Jules Beauchamp, Aug 29 2024

This is the ratio of the height of an equilateral triangle to its base.
Essentially the same sequence arises from decimal expansion of square root of 75, which is 8.6602540378443864676372317...
Also the real part of i^(1/3), the cubic root of i. - Stanislav Sykora, Apr 25 2012
Gilbert & Pollak conjectured that this is the Steiner ratio rho_2, the least upper bound of the ratio of the length of the Steiner minimal tree to the length of the minimal tree in dimension 2. (See Ivanov & Tuzhilin for the status of this conjecture as of 2012.) - Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 11 2012

If a, b, c are the sides of a triangle ABC and h_a, h_b, h_c the corresponding altitudes, then (h_a+h_b+h_c) / (a+b+c) <= sqrt(3)/2; equality is obtained only when the triangle is equilateral (see Mitrinovic reference). - Bernard Schott, Sep 26 2022

From Peter Bala, Feb 16 2015: (Start)
Pi/sqrt(27) = Sum_{n >= 0} 1/((3*n + 1)*(3*n + 2)) = 1 - 1/2 + 1/4 - 1/5 + 1/7 - 1/8 + ....
Continued fraction: 1/(1 + 1^2/(1 + 2^2/(2 + 4^2/(1 + 5^2/(2 + ... + (3*n + 1)^2/(1 + (3*n + 2)^2/(2 + ... ))))))).
Pi/sqrt(27) = Integral_{t = 0..1/2} 1/(t^2 - t + 1) dt = Integral_{t = 0..1/2} (1 + t - t^3 - t^4)/(1 - t^6) dt.
Pi/sqrt(27) = (1/4)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1/8)^n * (9*n + 5)/((3*n + 1)*(3*n + 2)).
BBP-type formulas:
Pi/sqrt(27) = Sum_{n >= 0} (1/64)^(n+1)*( 32/(6*n + 1) + 16/(6*n + 2) - 4/(6*n + 4) - 2/(6*n + 5) ) follows from the above integral representation.
Pi/sqrt(27) = Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n*(1/27)^(n+1)*( 9/(6*n + 1) + 9/(6*n + 2) + 6/(6*n + 3) + 3/(6*n + 4) + 1/(6*n + 5) ) follows from the result: Pi/3 = Integral_{t = 0..1/sqrt(3)} 1/(1 - sqrt(3)*t + t^2) dt. (End)

Pi/sqrt(27) = (1/2)*Sum_{n >= 0} 1/((2*n + 1)*binomial(2*n,n)).

This is a prototype of multiplicative sequences defined by a(p^e)=1 for odd primes p, and a(2^e)=c with some constant c, here c=2. They have Dirichlet generating functions (1+(c-1)/2^s)*zeta(s).
Examples are A153284, A176040 (c=3), A040005 (c=4), A021070, A176260 (c=5), A040011, A176355 (c=6), A176415 (c=7), A040019, A021059 (c=8), A040029 (c=10), A040041 (c=12). (End)

For n > 0: denominators of row sums of the triangular enumeration of rational numbers A226314(n,k) / A054531(n,k), 1 <= k <= n; see A226555 for numerators. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 10 2013
From Jianing Song, Nov 01 2022: (Start)
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.
The maximal gap is given by A048669. (End)

If the sides of a triangle form an arithmetic progression in the ratio 1:1+d:1+2d then when d=1/sqrt(3) it uniquely maximizes the area of the triangle. This triangle has approximate internal angles 25.588 degs, 42.941 degs, 111.471 degs. - Frank M Jackson, Jun 15 2011
When a cylinder is completely enclosed by a sphere, it occupies a fraction f of the sphere volume. The value of f has a trivial lower bound of 0, and an upper bound which is this constant. It is achieved iff the cylinder diameter is sqrt(2) times its height, and the sphere is circumscribed to it. A similar constant can be associated with any n-dimensional geometric shape. For 3D cuboids it is A165952. - Stanislav Sykora, Mar 07 2016

The terms 1 and 2 correspond to degenerate polygons.
These are also the numbers for which phi(n) is a power of 2: A209229(A000010(a(n))) = 1. - Olivier Gérard Feb 15 1999
From Stanislav Sykora, May 02 2016: (Start)
The sequence can be also defined as follows: (i) 1 is a member. (ii) Double of any member is also a member. (iii) If a member is not divisible by a Fermat prime F_k then its product with F_k is also a member. In particular, the powers of 2 (A000079) are a subset and so are the Fermat primes (A019434), which are the only odd prime members.
The definition is too restrictive (though correct): The Georg Mohr - Lorenzo Mascheroni theorem shows that constructibility using a straightedge and a compass is equivalent to using compass only. Moreover, Jean Victor Poncelet has shown that it is also equivalent to using straightedge and a fixed ('rusty') compass. With the work of Jakob Steiner, this became part of the Poncelet-Steiner theorem establishing the equivalence to using straightedge and a fixed circle (with a known center). A further extension by Francesco Severi replaced the availability of a circle with that of a fixed arc, no matter how small (but still with a known center).
Constructibility implies that when m is a member of this sequence, the edge length 2*sin(Pi/m) of an m-gon with circumradius 1 can be written as a finite expression involving only integer numbers, the four basic arithmetic operations, and the square root. (End)
If x,y are terms, and gcd(x,y) is a power of 2 then x*y is also a term. - David James Sycamore, Aug 24 2024

Any product of 2^k and distinct Fermat primes (primes of the form 2^(2^m)+1). - Sergio Pimentel, Apr 30 2004, edited by Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jun 16 2006
If the well-known conjecture that there are only five prime Fermat numbers F_k=2^{2^k}+1, k=0,1,2,3,4 is true, then we have exactly: Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n)= 2*Product_{k=0..4} (1+1/F_k) = 4869735552/1431655765 = 3.40147098978.... - Vladimir Shevelev and T. D. Noe, Dec 01 2010

Equivalently, the area in the complex plane of the smallest convex set containing all order-6 roots of unity.
Subtracting 2.5 (i.e., dropping the first two digits) we obtain 0.09807.... which is a limiting mean cluster density for a bond percolation model at probability 1/2 [Finch]. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 26 2007

Luminet proves that this is the critical impact parameter of a bare black hole, in multiples of the Schwarzschild radius. That is, light from a distant source coming toward a black hole is captured by the black hole at smaller distances and deflected at larger distances. - Charles R Greathouse IV, May 21 2022
For any triangle ABC, sin(A) + sin(B) + sin(C) <= 3*sqrt(3)/2, equality is obtained only when the triangle is equilateral (see the Kiran S. Kedlaya link). - Bernard Schott, Sep 16 2022
