If Yes what is the A number? If not should it be? #g(n) is 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 15, 25, 40, 64, ... #Yes it is, A006498 #3) For i=3, 4, 5, ... #compute #SeqRec([[1$i],[0$(i-1),1]],30); #Find whether these sequences are in the OEIS #Find their A-numbers #What is the smallest i for which this sequence is not in the OEIS? #Should it be? #i=3: 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 24, 44, 81, 149, 274, 504, 927, 1705, 3136, 5768, 10609, 19513, 35890, 66012, 121415, 223317, 410744, 755476, 1389537, 2555757, 4700770, 8646064, 15902591 #Yes it is in the OEIS as A000073 #i=4: 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 29, 56, 108, 208, 401, 773, 1490, 2872, 5536, 10671, 20569, 39648, 76424, 147312, 283953, 547337, 1055026, 2033628, 3919944, 7555935, 14564533, 28074040 #Yes it is in the OEIS as A000078 #i=5: 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 61, 120, 236, 464, 912, 1793, 3525, 6930, 13624, 26784, 52656, 103519, 203513, 400096, 786568, 1546352, 3040048, 5976577, 11749641, 23099186 #Yes it is in the OEIS as A001591 #i=6: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 63, 125, 248, 492, 976, 1936, 3840, 7617, 15109, 29970, 59448, 117920, 233904, 463968, 920319, 1825529, 3621088, 7182728, 14247536 #Yes it is in the OEIS as A001592 #i=7: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 127, 253, 504, 1004, 2000, 3984, 7936, 15808, 31489, 62725, 124946, 248888, 495776, 987568, 1967200, 3918592, 7805695 #Yes it is in the OEIS as A122189 #i=8: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 255, 509, 1016, 2028, 4048, 8080, 16128, 32192, 64256, 128257, 256005, 510994, 1019960, 2035872, 4063664, #Yes it is in the OEIS as A079262 #i=9: #Yes, A104144 #i=10: #A122265 #i=11: #A168082 #i=12: #A168083 #i=13: #A168084 #i=14: #No, not in the OEIS #The smallest i value that is not in the OEIS is i=14. #It should be added because the OEIS is a database of sequences, so I think that it should be included even if it is not some vital #sequence representing something, somewhere. Plus, they have cool names. I would guess, though, that the fibonacci i-step sequences are #probably only useful up until a certain point, so it is not super important to have it added. #4) RUID:185002317 #Let a:=2nd digit of your RUID (if it is 0 make it 1) = 8 #b:=7th digit = 3 #What is the 100th term of #GFseq(1/(1-x^a-x^b)) #The 100th term is 152857.
