[seqfan] Re: binary expansion 1+0*

[Charles Greathouse]

More generally, I wonder how many sequences can be defined as A union
B, A intersect B, or A setminus B for A, B other sequences in the
OEIS.  Call a "core" of the OEIS is a collection C of sequences from
which all other OEIS sequences can be defined as A union B, A
intersect B, or A setminus B for A for A and B in C.  I imagine a
minimum core of the OEIS would contain a minority of the sequences.

Similarly, I was wondering recently about the 'only finitely
differing' equivalence relation: A equiv B when A(n) *= B(n+k) for
some k and all n > N, where a *= b is true if a = b or a and b are
both undefined and false otherwise.  I suspect that ,fini, sequences
are the largest equivalent component in the OEIS, probably followed by
a few with trailing 0s or other constants.  What other components are
large?

Unfortunately the metadata in the OEIS is not strong enough to answer
either of these questions at the moment.
