"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.
Continuing similarly to search for a 3-combination at position 16 − 15 = 1 one finds c 3 = 3, which uses up the final unit; this establishes = + + (), and the remaining values c i will be the maximal ones with () =, namely c i = i − 1. Thus we have found the 5-combination {8, 6, 3, 1, 0}.
For example, when d=4, the hash table for two occurrences of d would contain the key-value pair 8 and 4+4, and the one for three occurrences, the key-value pair 2 and (4+4)/4 (strings shown in bold). The task is then reduced to recursively computing these hash tables for increasing n , starting from n=1 and continuing up to e.g. n=4.
These combinations (subsets) are enumerated by the 1 digits of the set of base 2 numbers counting from 0 to 2 n − 1, where each digit position is an item from the set of n. Given 3 cards numbered 1 to 3, there are 8 distinct combinations ( subsets ), including the empty set :
a 1 = 20615674205555510, a 2 = 3794765361567513 (sequence A083216 in the OEIS). In this sequence, the positions at which the numbers in the sequence are divisible by a prime p form an arithmetic progression; for instance, the even numbers in the sequence are the numbers a i where i is congruent to 1 mod 3. The progressions divisible by ...
