Name First elements Short description OEIS Kolakoski sequence: 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, ... The n th term describes the length of the n th run : A000002: Euler's ...
In mathematics, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯ is the infinite series whose terms are the successive powers of two. As a geometric series, it is characterized by its first term, 1, and its common ratio, 2. As a series of real numbers it diverges to infinity, so the sum of this series is infinity. However, it can be manipulated to yield a number of ...
Applying the f function k times to the number n = 2 k a + b will give the result 3 c a + d, where d is the result of applying the f function k times to b, and c is how many increases were encountered during that sequence. For example, for 2 5 a + 1 there are 3 increases as 1 iterates to 2, 1, 2, 1, and finally to 2 so the result is 3 3 a + 2 ...
The partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + ⋯ are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, etc.The nth partial sum is given by a simple formula: = = (+). This equation was known ...
In mathematics, a sequence of natural numbers is called a complete sequence if every positive integer can be expressed as a sum of values in the sequence, using each value at most once. For example, the sequence of powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, ...), the basis of the binary numeral system, is a complete sequence; given any natural number, we can ...
In mathematics, the look-and-say sequence is the sequence of integers beginning as follows: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, 1113213211, 31131211131221, ... (sequence A005150 in the OEIS ). To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups ...
Lucas number. The Lucas spiral, made with quarter- arcs, is a good approximation of the golden spiral when its terms are large. However, when its terms become very small, the arc's radius decreases rapidly from 3 to 1 then increases from 1 to 2. The Lucas sequence is an integer sequence named after the mathematician François Édouard Anatole ...
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯. 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. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation ...
