Fixed Points of the Josephus Function via Fractional Base Expansions

In this paper, we investigate properties of the fixed point sequence of the Josephus function $J_3$. First, we establish a connection between this sequence and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Next, we identify a clear numerical pattern for the digits of two consecutive fixed points when they are written in a non-standard fractional number system in base $3/2$. This result enables us to derive a recursive procedure for determining the digits of their base $3/2$ expansions.
