[seqfan] Re: Purely algorithmic number sequence identification

[Neil Sloane]

What do you think of adding your program to Superseeker?  It sounds like
this would definitely be worth doing.

By the way, can you do anything with A122536?  We have 200 terms, but no
formula or recurrence!

Best regards
