which, coincidentally, is one possible partial sum sequence of A073941,
which itself seems to have a connection to the Josephus problem, please see
also the sent-in updates to the entry (and I must apologize for my
recent comments having year 2002, won't happen again):

%Y A073941 Is this the same as A005428? - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 24, 2002
%C A073941 Same as log2(A082125(n)), for n>2?. - Ralf Stephan (ralf at ark.in-berlin.de), Apr 16 2003
%C A073941 Partial sums for various start indices seem to be in A006999,
A061419, A061418.

The formula
%F A073941 a(n) = ceiling(c*(3/2)^n-1/2) where c = 0.3605045561966149591015446628665... - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 22, 2002
I think this one is interesting,
- is there an easy ogf?
- confirming all digits of c, the ISC could not find it, does
  it have a closed form?

Thanks,
ralf
