The negative integers are depicted by using 1 segment more for the minus sign. %C A350437 Since the integer 0 is depicted by 6 segments, in order to avoid considering -0 in the case n = 7, a(7) is obtained by decreasing of a unit the result of the sum A331529(7) + A331529(6) = 12 + 7 = 19, i.e., a(7) = 19 - 1 = 18. %C A350437 The same sequence is obtained when 7 and 9 are depicted respectively by 4 and 5 segments (A074458). %H A350437 <a href="/index/Rec#order_07">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (0,1,1,1,3,3,1). %H A350437 <a href="/index/Ca#calculatordisplay">Index entries for sequences related to calculator display</a> %H A350437 <a href="/index/Com#comp">Index entries for sequences related to compositions</a> %F A350437 a(7) = 18, otherwise a(n) = A331529(n) + A331529(n-1). %F A350437 G.f.: x^2*(1 + 2*x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 6*x^4 + 3*x^5 - x^7 - x^8 - 3*x^9 - 3*x^10 - x^11)/(1 - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 - 3*x^5 - 3*x^6 - x^7). %F A350437 a(n) = a(n-2) + a(n-3) + a(n-4) + 3*a(n-5) + 3*a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n > 13. %e A350437 a(7) = 18 since -111, -77, -41, -14, -9, -6, 8, 12, 13, 15, 21, 31, 47, 51, 74, 117, 171 and 711 are displayed by 7 segments. %e A350437 segments. %e A350437 __ __ __ %e A350437 __ | | | __ | | __ |__| | __ | |__| __ |__| %e A350437 | | | | | | | | | __| %e A350437 (-111) (-77) (-41) (-14) (-9) %e A350437 __ __ __ __ __ __ __ %e A350437 __ |__ |__| | __| | __| | |__ __| | __| | %e A350437 |__| |__| | |__ | __| | __| |__ | __| | %e A350437 (-6) (8) (12) (13) (15) (21) (31) %e A350437 __ __ __ __ __ __ %e A350437 |__| | |__ | | |__| | | | | | | | | | %e A350437 | | __| | | | | | | | | | | | | %e A350437 (47) (51) (74) (117) (171) (711) %t A350437 P[x_]:=x^2+x^3+x^4+3x^5+3x^6+x^7; c[n_]:=Coefficient[Sum[P[x]^k, {k, Max[1, Ceiling[n/7]], Floor[n/2]}], x, n]; b[n_]:=c[n]-c[n-6]; (* A331529 *) %t A350437 a[n_]:=If[n!=7,b[n]+b[n-1],18]; Array[a,40,0] %Y A350437 Cf.
