[seqfan] Re: Brute force density: triples and cubes

[M. F. Hasler]

Dear all,
Concerning possible variants, I propose
https://oeis.org/draft/A248153 with initial term a(0)=10
and multiplication by 7 instead of 3.
(Eric's original sequence is now at oeis.org/A248128 ;
those who have given it a thought have understood that the seemingly
arbitrary a(0)=50 is the smallest choice to have digits 0 and 5
occurring in the sequence, which they don't if not in a(0);
multiplying by 7 does not require 5 to be in a(0) in order to occur later.)
Best,
M.
