The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (or OEIS) is a database of some 130000 number sequences. It is freely available on the Web (http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/) and is widely used. There are several ways in which it benefits research: 1 It serves as a dictionary, to tell the user what is known about a particular sequence. There are hundreds of papers which thank the OEIS for assistance in this way. 1 The associated Sequence Fans mailing list is a worldwide network…

Sloane's Gap. Do Mathematical and Social Factors Explain the Distribution of Numbers in the OEIS ?
The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) is a catalog of integer sequences. We are particularly interested in the number of occurrences of N(n) of an integer n in the database. This number…

This book presents methods for Computer Investigation of Sequences, a method for hand analysis of sequences, and some of the methods used in this work, as well as suggestions for further study.
Disquisitiones Arithmeticae and online sequence A108345
Let g be the element that is the sum of x^(n^2) for n >= 0 of A=Z/2[[x]], and let B consist of all n for which the coefficient of x^n in 1/g is 1. (The elements of B are the entries 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7,…
Some enumerative results related to ascent sequences
Autocorrelation of Strings A comment on entries A 005434 and A 045690 of the Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences Eric Rivals LIRMM
TLDR
Any word of length n has a non-empty set of periods, which is a subset of [0, n − 1], which can be denoted as a set, but also as a binary vector oflength n indexed from 0 until n −1 in which an entry equals 1 if an integer is a period of the word and 0 otherwise.
Eight hateful sequences
In his July 1974 Scientific American column, Martin Gardner mentioned the Handbook of Integer Sequences, which then contained 2372 sequences. Today the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (the…
Experimental methods applied to the computation of integer sequences
TLDR
The experimental method is applied to certain problems in number theory and combinatorics to understand certain integer sequences, and the recurrence an=an-1 +gcdn,an- 1 , which is shown to generate primes in a certain sense.
Fibonacci-like sequences and shift spaces in symbolic dynamics
TLDR
How many of these problems may be expressed and solved in terms of Fibonacci-like recurrent relations in a simple, intuitive and amenable way are shown and the limit ratios of such sequences to the topological entropy of the corresponding shift space are related.
On Hultman numbers
Finding a sequence of transpositions that transforms a given permutation into the identity permutation and is of the shortest possible length is an important problem in bioinformatics. Here, a…
Seven Staggering Sequences

Arithmetical properties of permutations of integers
For the finite case let a1 , a 2 , . . ., an be a permutation of the integers 1, 2, . . ., n and for the infinite case let a 1 , a2 , . . ., ai , . . . be a permutation of all positive integers .…

The basic problem of enumerative combinatorics is that of counting the number of elements of a finite set. Usually are given an infinite class of finite sets S i where i ranges over some index set I…

In the present paper we consider not only the simplest periodic nets (such as arise from the equivalent circle packings of Niggli, Fejes Toth and others) but also less regular ones, ignored by…
Relations between hypersurface cross ratios, and a combinatorial formula for partitions of a polygon, for permanent preponderance, and for non-associative products
This note improves, in two respects, the results of §3.6 of my paper The hyper surface cross ratio. There it is shown that the number cn of independent hypersurface cross ratios that can be formed of…
