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.

Showing 1-4 of 4 results.

In terms of the repetition convolution operator #, where (sequence A) # (sequence B) = the sequence consisting of A(n) copies of B(n), then this sequence is the repetition convolution A110595 # n. Over the set of positive infinite integer sequences, # gives a nonassociative noncommutative groupoid (magma) with a left identity (A000012) but no right identity, where the left identity is also a right nullifier and idempotent. For any positive integer constant c, the sequence c*A000012 = (c,c,c,c,...) is also a right nullifier; for c = 1, this is A000012; for c = 3 this is A010701.

There is the following connection between this sequence and A080277: A080277(n) = n + n*floor(log_2(n)) - a(n). Since A080277(n) is the solution to a prototypical recurrence in the analysis of the algorithm Merge Sort, that is, T(0) := 0, T(n) := 2*T(floor(n/2)) + n, the sequence a(n) seems to be the major obstacle when trying to find a simple, sum-free solution to this recurrence. It seems hard to get rid of the sum. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 21 2006
When n = 2^k with k > 0 then a(n+1) = k. For this reason, when n-1 is a Mersenne prime then n - 1 = M(p) = 2^p - 1 = 2^a(n+1) - 1 and p = a(n+1) is prime. - David Morales Marciel, Oct 23 2015

Conjecture: For b >= 2, consider the function s(n,b) = Sum_{1 <= b^j <= n} (n mod b^j) from p. 8 in Dearden et al. (2011). Then s(b*n + r, b) = b*s(n,b) + r*N(n,b) for 0 <= r <= b-1, where N(n,b) = floor(log_b(n)) + 1 is the number of digits in the base-b representation of n. As initial conditions, we have s(n,b) = 0 for 1 <= n <= b. (This is a generalization of a result by Robert Israel in A049802.)
Here b = 3 and a(n) = s(n,3).
We have N(n,2) = A070939(n), N(n,3) = A081604(n), N(n,4) = A110591(n), and N(n,5) = A110592(n).
If A_b(x) = Sum_{n >= 1} s(n,b)*x^n is the g.f. of the sequence (s(n,b): n >= 1) and the above conjecture is correct, then it can be proved that A_b(x) = b * A_b(x^b) * (1-x^b)/(1-x) + x * ((b-1)*x^b - b*x^(b-1) + 1)/((1-x)^2 * (1-x^b)) * Sum_{k >= 1} x^(b^k). (End)
