Dear fellow seqfans,

I investigated some ideas related to fractional iterates of functions
(see http://dmishin.blogspot.com/2018/11/fractional-iterates-of-x-2-problem-by.html
for informations about that).

Referring here to generating functions (ogf) only when speaking about a
sequences, I looked for sequences in the database which could be built
as the k-th iterate of some other integer sequence, with k being some
positive irrational exponent, and I found some of them.

The challenging part was computing an irrational iterate of some power
series with integer coefficients and finding another power series with
integer coefficients. Here are some I gathered:


B = A^( log(3)/log(2) )
   with A = [0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, ... ]
   and  B = [0, 3, 0, 8, 0, 24, 0, 72, 0, 216, 0, 648, 0, 1944, ... ]

B = A^( log(3)/log(2) )
   with A = [0, 2, -1, 4, -2, 8, -4, 16, -8, 32, -16, 64, -32, ... ]
