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.

A381587 a(1) = 1; thereafter the sequence is extended by iteratively appending the run length transform of the reverse of the sequence thus far.

The run length transform replaces each run of consecutive equal values with a single value representing the length of that run.
Is 2 the greatest even number in the sequence?
It appears that the limit of the rows read in reverse equals A306346 (ignoring the initial terms). - Paul D. Hanna, Mar 03 2025

A306346 Start with the sequence S(1) = [0], and for n >= 1 define S(n+1) to equal the concatenation of S(n) with the RUNS transform of S(n) when read in reverse order. This sequence is the limit of that process as n goes to infinity.

Conjecture 1: a(n) <= 7.
Conjecture 2: a(n) is odd for n > 1 and when a(n) = 3, 5 or 7, n is odd.
Property of the sequence:
a(n) = 3 for the odd values n = 5, 9, 13, 15, 21, 23, 25, 37, 39, ...
a(n) = 5 for the odd values n = 33, 57, 75, 93, 111, 115, 129, 147, ...
a(n) = 7 for the odd values n = 51, 79, 87, 121, 133, 141, 185, 203, ...
Remark:
If row 1 = [1], the sequence a(n) becomes b(n) = 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, ... and it is conjectured that b(n) <= 7.

Examples

			We may consider this sequence to be the limit of the rows of the irregular triangle in which row n+1 equals the concatenation of row n with the RUNS transform of row n when read in reverse order, as illustrated below.
Start with row 1 = [0];
the RUNS of row 1 in reverse = [1], so row 2 = row 1 + [1] = [0, 1];
the RUNS of row 2 in reverse = [1, 1], so row 3 = row 2 + [1, 1] = [0, 1, 1, 1];
the RUNS of row 3 in reverse = [3, 1], so row 4 = row 3 + [3, 1] = [0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1];
the RUNS of row 4 in reverse = [1, 1, 3, 1], so row 5 = row 4 + [1, 1, 3, 1] = [0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1];
etc.
The irregular triangle starts:
  [0];
  [0, 1];
  [0, 1, 1, 1];
  [0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1];
  [0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1];
  [0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1];
  [0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1];
  ...
in which the limit of the rows yields this sequence.
The row lengths of the above triangle equal A381357 (offset 3).

If it exists, what is the limit of a(n)^(1/n) as n increases?

Examples

			Row n+1 of irregular triangle A381587 equals the run lengths of the first n rows of the triangle (flattened) when read in reverse order, starting with
  1;
  1;
  2;
  1,2;
  1,1,1,2;
  1,3,1,1,1,2;
  1,3,1,1,1,3,1,1,1,2;
  1,3,1,3,1,1,1,3,1,1,1,3,1,1,1,2; ...
This sequence gives the row sums [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, ...].
