The look-and-say sequence is also popularly known as the Morris Number Sequence, after cryptographer Robert Morris, and the puzzle "What is the next number in the sequence 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221?" is sometimes referred to as the Cuckoo's Egg , from a description of Morris in Clifford Stoll 's book The Cuckoo's Egg .
A Harshad number in base 10 is an integer that is divisible by the sum of its digits (when written in base 10). A005349: Factorions: 1, 2, 145, 40585, ... A natural number that equals the sum of the factorials of its decimal digits. A014080: Circular primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 37, 79, 113, ...
Other examples of sequences include those made up of rational numbers, real numbers and complex numbers. The sequence (.9, .99, .999, .9999, ...), for instance, approaches the number 1. In fact, every real number can be written as the limit of a sequence of rational numbers (e.g. via its decimal expansion, also see completeness of the real ...
In mathematics, a self-descriptive number is an integer m in a given base b that is b digits long, and each digit d at position n (the most significant digit being at position 0 and the least significant at position b−1) counts how many instances of digit n are in m.
In applied statistics, the Morris method for global sensitivity analysis is a so-called one-factor-at-a-time method, meaning that in each run only one input parameter is given a new value. It facilitates a global sensitivity analysis by making a number r {\displaystyle r} of local changes at different points x ( 1 → r ) {\displaystyle x(1 ...
Alternatively, an integer sequence may be defined by a property which members of the sequence possess and other integers do not possess. For example, we can determine whether a given integer is a perfect number, (sequence A000396 in the OEIS), even though we do not have a formula for the nth perfect number.
In mathematics, a Cauchy sequence is a sequence whose elements become arbitrarily close to each other as the sequence progresses. [1] More precisely, given any small positive distance, all excluding a finite number of elements of the sequence are less than that given distance from each other.
For example, the sequence,,,,, … is not an arithmetic progression, but is instead generated by starting with 17 and adding either 3 or 5, thus allowing multiple common differences to generate it. A semilinear set generalizes this idea to multiple dimensions – it is a set of vectors of integers, rather than a set of integers.
