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…

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.

Experimental methods applied to the computation of integer sequences
- Computer Science, Mathematics

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

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.
