Lucas numbers have L 1 = 1, L 2 = 3, and L n = L n−1 + L n−2. Primefree sequences use the Fibonacci recursion with other starting points to generate sequences in which all numbers are composite. Letting a number be a linear function (other than the sum) of the 2 preceding numbers. The Pell numbers have P n = 2P n−1 + P n−2.
a 0 = 1, a 1 = 2, a 2 = 4, a 3 = 8,... The sequence of forward differences is then Δa 0 = a 1 − a 0 = 2 − 1 = 1, Δa 1 = a 2 − a 1 = 4 − 2 = 2, Δa 2 = a 3 − a 2 = 8 − 4 = 4, Δa 3 = a 4 − a 3 = 16 − 8 = 8,... which is just the same sequence. Hence the iterated forward difference sequences all start with Δ n a 0 = 1 for every ...
The first four partial sums of 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯. 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.
Name First elements Short description OEIS Mersenne prime exponents : 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, 61, 89, ... Primes p such that 2 p − 1 is prime.: A000043 ...
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 ...
(4) the result is 1 / 2 (3) the result is 1 (2) the result is infinite (30) no answer. The researcher, Giorgio Bagni, interviewed several of the students to determine their reasoning. Some 16 of them justified an answer of 0 using logic similar to that of Grandi and Riccati. Others justified 1 / 2 as being the average of 0 and 1 ...

21 is read off as "one 2, one 1" or 1211. 1211 is read off as "one 1, one 2, two 1s" or 111221. 111221 is read off as "three 1s, two 2s, one 1" or 312211. The look-and-say sequence was analyzed by John Conway [1] after he was introduced to it by one of his students at a party. [2] [3]
