I'm hoping someone can shed some light on fractal sequences - here's the
question:
If V(x) is the lower trim of a fractal sequence x, and if V(x)=x,
what can be said about x?
It is known that V(x)=x when x is a signature sequence of a positive
irrational number.
Recall that the UPPER trim of x is x itself, but the LOWER trim of x,
although
fractal sequence, need not be identical to x.
Example: A0084531 is the signature sequence of the golden ratio:
1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 1, 6, 3, 5, 2, 7,...
The upper trim is what's left after deleting the first occurrence of
each n.
The lower trim is what's left after subtracting 1 from all terms and
then deleting all 0s.
