  2. Gilbreath's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbreath's_conjecture

    Gilbreath's conjecture is a conjecture in number theory regarding the sequences generated by applying the forward difference operator to consecutive prime numbers and leaving the results unsigned, and then repeating this process on consecutive terms in the resulting sequence, and so forth.

  3. Random Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_Fibonacci_sequence

    A random Fibonacci sequence is an integer random sequence given by the numbers for natural numbers, where = = and the subsequent terms are chosen randomly according to the random recurrence relation = {+,;,. An instance of the random Fibonacci sequence starts with 1,1 and the value of the each subsequent term is determined by a fair coin toss: given two consecutive elements of the sequence ...

  4. Integer sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sequence

    Beginning of the Fibonacci sequence on a building in Gothenburg. In mathematics, an integer sequence is a sequence (i.e., an ordered list) of integers.. An integer sequence may be specified explicitly by giving a formula for its nth term, or implicitly by giving a relationship between its terms.

  5. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    Moreover, every positive integer can be written in a unique way as the sum of one or more distinct Fibonacci numbers in such a way that the sum does not include any two consecutive Fibonacci numbers. This is known as Zeckendorf's theorem , and a sum of Fibonacci numbers that satisfies these conditions is called a Zeckendorf representation.

    The rectified Gaussian distribution replaces negative values from a normal distribution with a discrete component at zero. The compound poisson-gamma or Tweedie distribution is continuous over the strictly positive real numbers, with a mass at zero.

  7. Zeckendorf's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeckendorf's_theorem

    Zeckendorf's theorem states that every positive integer can be represented uniquely as the sum of one or more distinct Fibonacci numbers in such a way that the sum does not include any two consecutive Fibonacci numbers. More precisely, if N is any positive integer, there exist positive integers c i ≥ 2, with c i + 1 > c i + 1, such that

  8. Sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence

    In the graph the sequence appears to be converging to a limit as the distance between consecutive terms in the sequence gets smaller as n increases. In the real numbers every Cauchy sequence converges to some limit. A Cauchy sequence is a sequence whose terms become arbitrarily close together as n gets very large.

  9. Primes in arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primes_in_arithmetic...

    Consecutive primes in arithmetic progression refers to at least three consecutive primes which are consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression. Note that unlike an AP-k, all the other numbers between the terms of the progression must be composite. For example, the AP-3 {3, 7, 11} does not qualify, because 5 is also a prime.
