The first step in answering this kind of question is to determine what 
those lines are.  What are the slopes and intercepts?  If you have 
that, it might be easy to see why they appear.  This is something that 
you can and should do for yourself, Leroy.

A160855 is:
a(n) = the smallest positive integer not occurring earlier in the 
sequence such
that sum{k=1 to n} a(k) written in binary contains binary n as a 
substring.

(1, 3, 2, 6, 8, 4, 5, 11, 10, 24, 12, 13, 7, 9, 28, 17, 36, 14, 20, 
46,...)

Now, after Ray Chandler, I think it was, extended this sequence out for 
many
terms, its scatter-plot was at that point rather interesting, in my 
opinion.

But now that H. v. Eitzen has extended the sequence out to 100000 
terms, the
scatter-plot is even more interesting.

What explains the radiating lines, or explains the seeming random blobs 
seen
when the scatter-plot is taken to a smaller number of terms?

I must be missing something obvious as to why these structures occur. 
What kinds
of structures are seen when the plot is taken even farther out, I 
wonder?

Thanks,
Leroy Quet

Hello,

  yes, it is true, by changing some variable, there is
several ways to get a more efficient formula than

log(2) = sum(1/n/2^n,n=1..infinity),       (formula 1)

a question : what is C in equation 0.135 ? it must be Pi
isn't ?

  For Alexander, look at equation 0.129 and 0.130 of
mr Mathar paper, these formulas are with the index 16^n :
it means that , formulas with an index of 2^n and 10 or
more terms are of very little interest since it converges
not faster than the standard log(2) series of Euler.

If I remember well, the formula (1) can be obtained
by using EULER transform of the series 1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/4 ...= log(2).

Since there are many series of that later type : many others
can be obtained.

Also, and finally, there is always a way to SPLIT into 2 parts
a series of harmonic type to obtain a formula S = S1 + S2 and
deduce a NEW formula more rapidly convergent and for log(2)
there is a plethora of ways to get a better index than of 2^n.

best regards,

Simon Plouffe

Maximilian Hasler:

Indeed. The destiny is identical to that of the smaller 46758:

0    46758    99225
1    46770   114582
2    65550   135762
3   113010   180462
4   158286   199698
5   191922   205518
6   205518   ...

so I looked for dest(46758), first using Mathematica to #472, then one  
at a time (copy/paste) using Dario Alpern's online ECM-factorization  
applet to #547 (< #546). #547 (assuming I didn't make any mistakes) is:

220856107213904390193665654934000814055972896201951406931845871108450633171297110864659603360

According to Wolfgang Creyaufmueller's online tables

http://www.aliquot.de/tabellen/tables.htm

46758 has been indexed up to #666 where we have the 101-digit

42291149432355095308926992983480450623448873555059382537140396682361170391404079245409226419855814760

Please don't call this the "destiny".  Destiny implies where you wind 
up.  "First decrease" would be fine, if nobody comes up with something 
better.

"First non-increase" would be more accurate.

Hi all

Ask you formula sequence:

3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8, 8, 10, 11, 11, 12, 14, 16, 16, 18, 19, 19, 21, 22, 24, 27, 28, 28, 29, 29, 30, 36, 37 ,..., 

or formula sequence:

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 9, 11, 13, 13, 15, 16, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 33,..., 
quando ai termini della prima sequenza si sottrae 3.

Best regards,

Vincenzo Librandi
===================

Thans fot Hasler and Mathar. 

OK A008507, I now it.

volevo però una sequenza senza utilizzare i numeri prmi.

Lo scopo:

If K = A067076 (0,1,2,4,5,7,8,10, and so on) tali che 2*k+3=primo

If S_K =A008507 (3,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,8, an so on)  

che chiamo "Salti di K", infatti per 

K       S_k
0        3
1        3  (nessun salto da 0 a 1)
2        3
4        4 (un salto perchè manca il 3)
5        4
7        5 (un salto, manca 6)
8        5
10      6
13      8 (due salti perch mancano 11e 12)
14      8
17     10 (due salti perchè 15 e 16)
19     11
and so on

se alle due colonne aggiungiamo la serie dei numeri naturali (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,, ..) avremo

0+3+0=3
1+3+1=5
2+3+2=7
4+4+3=11
5+4+4=13
7+5+5=17
8+5+6=19
10+6+7=23

and so on 

Come potremo legare il tutto ?

Thanks,
Vincenzo Librandi

I believe the proper terms are:

"trajectory of n" for the sequence

t(k) =
n if k = 0
f(t(k-1)) if k > 0

"attractor" for a set S with f(S) = S. (that is, the set of values in a 
trajectory loop).

"fixpoint" for a single-element attractor (that is, {n} or n with f(n) = n).

"stopping point" for an element satisfying an artificial "stopping 
condition", such as n = 1 for Collatz or f(n+1) <= n for the sequence in 
question.

So "stopping point with condition f(n+1) <= n" would avoid having to 
coin new terms.

I also wanted to make this observation on aliquot sequences:

Let s(n) be the sum of divisors of n, and f(n) = s(n)-n be the sum of 
aliquot divisors. We are discussing the trajectory of f(n).

Note that if n is a large number of the form 28k with k odd, then f(n) 
is likely to be a yet larger number of this form. If a sufficiently 
large number of this form occurs in the trajectory of n, the subsequent 
trajectory is likely retain that form and grow. Once it has grown 
sufficiently large, in the unlikely event it loses the form 28k, it is 
likely to recover that form after a few iterations a few iterations of 
and resume its growth.

For this reason, I conjecture that f(n) is very likely to include 
divergent trajectories, and that n = 276 is probably one of them.
