Hello,

Below is my (unpublished so far in OEIS) analysis of cases for "failed"
"n"'s for the following description of my sequence:
a(n) = (n^1 + 1)*(n^2 + 2)*(n^3 + 3)*...*(n^k + k)/k!
(See my comment in A131509).

In other words below analysis is for the cases when int k doesn't belong to
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21}.

This analysis shows that those "failed" "n"'s form integer sequences of
their own.
Depending on the value of "k" - those are either "simple" "linear type"
sequences or "interleaved" ones,
with several (two or more) "participating" sequences (each of "linear type"
too).
NB This analysis is based on Peter J.C. Moses's  conducted computations re
above mentioned failures.
Computations showed that for
i=||  {n }Failures
------------------------------------------------------
14|| {2,9,16,23,30,37,51,58,65,72,79,86,100,...}
15|| {2,9,16,23,30,37,51,58,65,72,79,86,100,...}
16|| {2,9,16,23,30,37,51,58,65,72,79,86,100,...}

23|| {7,18,29,40,51,62,73,84,95,...}

26|| {7,11,18,24,29,37,40,50,51,62,73,76,84,89,95,...}

My (AP) analysis of above computational results comes to the following
observations:

>Failures
>i =
>14 {2,9,16,23,30,37,51,58,65,72,79,86,100,...}
>15  ....
>16  ....

Above sequence of "n" failures could be described as:
n = 7k + 2;  for k=0,1,3,...,12, !!14, (16?)
Note that Multiplier K for above is 7

> ...
>22 {7,18,29,40,51,62,73,84,95,...}
>23
>24

n = 11k + 7;  k=0,1,...,?
Note that Multiplier K for above is 11

>25 {2,7,12,18,22,27,29,37,40,47,51,52,62,72,73,77,84,87,95,97,...}

Above one could be broken in two intertwained and partially joined
sequences:
k 0  1 2  3 4   5  6  7   8  9  10  11   12 13 14  15 16 17 18 19  20
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2,   12,  22, 27,   37,    47,    52,        72,    77,   87,    97
                                         62,
     7,   18,      ,29   ,40,    51,               73,    84,  95,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

of those two:
for the first the description is:

n = 2 + 5k  till k <= 9  and then less strictly

for the second the description is:

n = 7 + 11k

Note that Multiplier K for above composite integer sequence (which yields
two primitive ones) is 55 = 5*11


>26 {7,11,18,24,29,37,40,50,51,62,73,76,84,89,95,...}

k 0  1  2    3    4   5  6   7  8   9  10  11 12 13 14
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  7,    18,       29,     40,    51, 62 73,    84,   95 -> step 11

    11      24       37      50            76     89    -> step 13

Note that Multiplier K for above is 143 = 11*13

It is also likely to predict that "n" failure sequence for i=28
will be a "simple" sequence with the step = 13,

Further, it is also likely to predict that the "n" failure sequence from
i=29 through i=33 could possibly be an interleaved combination of two
sequences with steps 7 and 13, since 17*13=91

Also, since 1001 = 7 * 11 * 13
then the "n" failure sequence for i=34 could be combination of 3 interleaved
sequences with steps 7, 11 and 13

Could someone (if interested) verify my above stated predictions ?

Should I report this to OEIS (and if yes, how should I "package" such report
?) ?

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Alexander Povolotsky
