Define a sequence (an)ngeq1 by nan=2+sumn−1i=1a2i.
(In particular, a1=2.)
How can you show - preferably without using a pc! - that not all terms of the sequence are integral?
And which will be the first such term?
Motivation: nothing interesting to say, it's a random problem which I got from someone - I have no reference - and which interested me. Usually one has to prove that all terms are integral :)
Thoughts: nothing interesting. The terms are quickly getting enormous...
