[seqfan] Re: 0-additive and first differences

[Heinz, Alois]

In a 0-additive sequence each term is the sum of two distinct
*earlier* terms in exactly 0 ways.

If you want the lexicographically first 0-additive sequence such
that the terms in the sequence and their absolute first differences
are all distinct you get:

1, 3, 7, 12, 18, 26, 9,  20, 34, 24, 39, 55, 22, 45, 66, 28, ...
. 2, 4, 5, 6,  8,  17, 11, 14, 10, 15, 16, 33, 23, 21, 38, ...

But then some positive numbers do not occur.

Please note that 12 is the sum of 3 and 9 but 9 is not an
earlier term.

If you want the lexicographically first sequence such that the terms
in the sequence and their absolute first differences are all distinct
and each term is the sum of two distinct *other* terms in exactly 0 ways
you get:

1, 3, 7, 12, 18, 26, 16, 31, 20, 37, 50, 22, 41, 64, 35, 56, 83, ...
. 2, 4, 5, 6,  8,  10, 15, 11, 17, 13, 28, 19, 23, 29, 21, 27, ...

But then again some positive numbers do not occur.
