    "subtract if possible, otherwise add": a(0) = 0; for n > 0, a(n) = a(n − 1) − n if that number is positive and not already in the sequence, otherwise a(n) = a(n − 1) + n, whether or not that number is already in the sequence.

    Second edition of the book. Neil Sloane started collecting integer sequences as a graduate student in 1964 to support his work in combinatorics. [8] [9] The database was at first stored on punched cards.

  4. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    As an illustration of this, the parity cycle (1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0) and its sub-cycle (1 1 0 0) are associated to the same fraction ⁠ 5 / 7 ⁠ when reduced to lowest terms. In this context, assuming the validity of the Collatz conjecture implies that (1 0) and (0 1) are the only parity cycles generated by positive whole numbers (1 and 2 ...

  5. Integer sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sequence

    An integer sequence is computable if there exists an algorithm that, given n, calculates a n, for all n > 0. The set of computable integer sequences is countable.The set of all integer sequences is uncountable (with cardinality equal to that of the continuum), and so not all integer sequences are computable.

  6. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    In mathematics, a generating function is a representation of an infinite sequence of numbers as the coefficients of a formal power series.Generating functions are often expressed in closed form (rather than as a series), by some expression involving operations on the formal series.

    As mentioned above, rows 1, 2, and 4 of G should look familiar as they map the data bits to their parity bits: p 1 covers d 1, d 2, d 4; p 2 covers d 1, d 3, d 4; p 3 covers d 2, d 3, d 4; The remaining rows (3, 5, 6, 7) map the data to their position in encoded form and there is only 1 in that row so it is an identical copy.

    First six summands drawn as portions of a square. The geometric series on the real line. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 16 ⁠ + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely.

    In it, uniform blocks are stacked on top of each other to achieve the maximum sideways or lateral distance covered. The blocks are stacked 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, … distance sideways below the original block. This ensures that the center of gravity is just at the center of the structure so that it does not collapse.
