Hans, They claim that 1000 terms of the 1079-term b-file are correct, and imply that the remaining 79 terms are too. So I approved it, hoping that someone like you would check it when they saw that comment. Furthermore, this is a member of the class of "lexicographically earliest sequences" , of which we have a large number in the OEIS, and there is no mystery about them. Backtracking is all it takes. Nothing deep here. Best regards Neil Neil J. A. Sloane, President, OEIS Foundation. 11 South Adelaide Avenue, Highland Park, NJ 08904, USA. Also Visiting Scientist, Math.

EA: "As this sequence needs a lot of backtracking, we don't guarantee the accuracy of the last 79 integers of the 1079-term b-file."
This (and the fact that Neil approved it) surprises me since the OEIS style sheet suggests that (for sequences with conjectured terms) "we give the known terms (up to the first gap) in a b-file, and all the terms - with gaps, question marks, or ranges for the uncertain terms - in an a-file". _______________________________________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun
