[seqfan] Re: seqs whose |differences| are 1,2,3,4,...

Neil,

Did you miss my note?  There is no lexicographically least permutation 
with the specified difference property.  There are many permutations 
with the property, but the greatest lower bound of these permutations 
is the sequence Raff describes, and this is one-to-one but not onto.

There may be a sequence with the property such that the inverse 
permutation is lexicographically least.  The algorithm I described is 
"trying" to find this, but may not actually do so.

P.s. The sequence from Ron cannot be continued.  The next term must be 
158; after that would have to be 4 or 312, both of which have already 
been seen.

Ron,   This looks very nice!

I am in Florida on a very slow connection so have not read all the 
messages.

Supose you could run your program - or Paul's - for L = 100, 1000, 
10000, etc.,
then the initial terms would stabilize, we hope, and we will get
more and more of the sequence we are looking for, which is the
limiting sequence.

Can you say how many terms of the sequence in your email will
be in the final answer?

That is, as you increase L, are we getting more
and more of the final answer, and if so how
much do we have so far.  I'm not asking for proofs,
just what your sense is after looking at the data!

Neil
