[seqfan] Re: Filling squares and triangles (with digits)

Let me make one small correction to that. Instead of "You might mention 
it in a comment", read "You should mention it in a comment".

If this becomes a sequence, I would recommend changing it to "The
integer k such that the digits from 1 to k have exactly n^2 digits, or
zero if this does not exist." So it would start:

1,4,9,0,17,0,29,...

(I've also dropped the reference to "filling" squares - we're
ultimately just counting digits here. Filling squares is the idea that
got you here, but not the essence of what you've gotten to. You might
mention it in a comment.)

Don't forget to cross-reference A058183.

Subject: [seqfan] Filling squares and triangles (with digits)


Hello SeqFans,
It is possible to write down in a 5 x 5
square (25 cells)  the integers from 1
to 17 -- if you use one digit per cell:

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 1
0 1 1 1 2
1 3 1 4 1
5 1 6 1 7

The 4 x 4 square is impossible to fill
exactly, using the same constraint:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 1 0 1
1 1 2 1 3

We see that 12 leaves an empty cell,
and 13 needs one too much.

What are the exact "square-filling" integers?

I guess S starts:
S=1,4,9,17,29,45,65,89,111,144,183,228,...

The equivalent seq T could be constructed
for exact "right-triangle-filling" integers:

T=1,3,6,12,15,27,32,50,57,...

None of those are in the
O
N L
I N E
E N C Y
C L O P E
D I A O F I
N T E G E R S
E Q U E N C E S
Best,
É.

(What about in other bases?)
