cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A309817 a(n) is the index of the n-th nonattacking queen placed by a greedy algorithm on a subset of N^N (see Comments for details).

We consider an infinite chessboard on the subset S of points X = (x_k){k>=0} of N^N such that Sum{k>=0} x_k is finite:
- any point X = (x_k){k>=0} of S is uniquely identified by the positive number f(X) = Product{k>=0} prime(k+1)^x_k (where prime(k) denotes the k-th prime number),
- two distinct points X = (x_k){k>=0} and Y = (y_k){k>=0} are aligned iff { x_k - y_k, k >= 0 } = { 0, m } for some m > 0.
We traverse S by increasing value of f, and place nonattacking queens as soon as possible; a(n) is the value of f applied to the position of the n-th queen.
This sequence is a generalization of A275897 and of A309362 to a space with infinite dimensions.

Examples

			We first visit the origin and place our first queen on it.
Hence a(1) = Product_{k>=0} prime(k+1)^0 = 1.
This first queen attacks every point X such that f(X) is in A072774.
The second queen is placed at position (2, 1, 0, 0, 0...); a(2) = 2^2 * 3 = 12.
