[seqfan] Re: Dual sequences A214094 and A214156

[Vladimir Shevelev]

By my request, Peter Moses considered initials (prime(n),prime(n+1)) up to n=209, i.e., up to initials (1289,1291). Every time he obtained eventually periodic sequences with the same length 36 of period. The sequence of maximal terms of these sequences I submitted as A221218.

Regards,
Vladimir

It is interesting, when this chain will be btoken and what periods with other lengths we obtain in such case? I ask anyone to verify my handy calculations and possibly to continue them.
