[seqfan] Re: Sums of two sequences

There would be fewer than A000217(169) = 14365 core+core sumsets to
check. That's because some give trivial sumsets, such as with A000012
the all 1's sequence.

It is therefore feasible to automatically generate the fewer than
14000 nontrvial core+core sumsets, and see if any of these are
(possibly with offset or constant factor) some other core sequence.

Further, some can easily be solved analytically, as with many sums of
different kinds of figurate numbers.

My hunch is that there would be at least one publishable hit, and
several fun conjectures.

Feel free to footnote me and Zak in the paper, when someone does so!

Best,
