FORMULA

From David Fifield, May 23 2024: (Start)

a(n) = A096554(n+934703610).

a(n) = floor(A096553(n+2)/65536) mod 32768. (End)

PROG

(C) unsigned long next= 1; int i= 0; while (i++ < 33) next= next * 1103515245 + 12345, printf( "%d ", (unsigned)( next/65536 ) %32768 );

(PARI) x=1; m=2^32; for (n=0, 1000, x=(x*1103515245 + 12345)%m; write("b061364.txt", n, " ", (x\65536)%32768) ) \\ Harry J. Smith, Jul 21 2009
