FORMULA
a(n+7) = a(n) for n >= 21; (1,1,1,3,1,3,1 repeats). - Rick L. Shepherd, Apr 06 2006
G.f.: (x^27 + x^22 + 2*x^20 + x^16 + 2*x^15 + 4*x^13 + x^11 + 2*x^9 + 4*x^8 - 8*x^6 - 3*x^5 - 2*x^4 - 3*x^3 - 4*x^2 - 8*x - 1) / ((x - 1)*(x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1)). - Colin Barker, Feb 14 2014
EXAMPLE
The ratios are 1 (c), 9/8 (d), 5/4 (e), 4/3 (f), 3/2 (g), 5/3 (a), 15/8 (b); followed by these 7 numbers multiplied by successive powers of 2.
