Any digit-pair in S

sums to a prime

Hello SeqFans,

 

Any digit-pair in S sums to a prime, commas or not:

 

S = 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 6, 5, 8, 9, 20, 21, 11, 12, 14, 16, 50, 23, 25, 29, 41, 43, 47, 49, 83, 85, 61, 65, 67, 411, 111, 112, 30, 32, 34, 38, 52, 56, 58, 92, 94, 70, 74, 76, 114, 98, 302, 116, 120, 202, 121, 123, 89, 203, ...

 

S is supposed not to show twice the same integer, and S wants to be the lexico-first such seq.

The same seq with prime absolute differences between digits is perhaps T:

 

T = 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 13, 14, 7, 9, 20, 24, 16, 18, 30, 25, 27, 29, 41, 31, 35, 36, 38, 50, 52, 42, 46, 47, 49, 61, 63, 53, 57, 58, 64, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 79, 202, 92, 94, 96, 81, 83, 85, 86, 97, 203, 130, 205, 207, 241, 302, 413, 131, ...

 

Best,

É.

Hello Eric,

 

Here is a graph of the S sequence with values < 10^5.

 

S_sums_to_prime

 

For each maximum value 10^n there are much fewer candidates that are internally consistent.

Calculating the candidates first greatly reduces the work of finding the sequence.

 

This table shows the length of the sequence and the number of candidates for some maximum values

 

Max = 10^n   Sequence    Candidates

         2    28         41

         3    147        166

         4    503        643

         5    2119       2467

         6    7581       9432

         7    30731      36078

         8    112977     137844

         9    447183     527115

 

A little on the side: The number of candidates increases by a factor of about 3.82 for each power of 10.

 

S = 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 6, 5, 8, 9, 20, 21, 11, 12, 14, 16, 50, 23, 25, 29, 41, 43, 47, 49, 83, 85, 61, 65, 67, 411, 111, 112, 30, 32, 34, 38, 52, 56, 58, 92, 94, 70, 74, 76, 114, 98, 302, 116, 120, 202, 121, 123, 89, 203, 205, 207, 412, 125, 211, 129, 212, 141, 143, 214, 147, 414, 149, 216, 161, 165, 230, 232, 167, 416, 502, 303, 234, 305, 238, 307, 430, 250, 252, 320, 256, 503, 258, 321, 292, 323, 294, 325, 298, 329, 432, 341, 434, 343, 438, 347, 470, 349, 474, 383, 476, 505, 611, 492, 385, 612, 389, 494, 702, 507, 498, 520, 521, 614, 703, 830, 523, 832, 525, 616, 529, 834, 705, 650, 561, 652, 565, 656, 567, 658, 583, 838, 585, 670, 589, 850, 707, 674, 741, 676, 743, 852, 920, 747, 4111, 1111, 1112, 921, 1114, 749, 856, 761, 1116, 765, 858, 923, 892, 925, 894, 767, 4112, 929, 898, 941, 1120, 2020, 2021, 1121, 1123, 2023, 2025, 2029, 2030, 2032, 943, 2034, 947, 4114, 949, 2038, 983, 2050, 2052, 985, 2056, 1125, 2058, 989, 2070, 2074, 1129, 2076, 1141, 1143, 2111, 1147, 4116,...

 

 

The T sequence has similar properties, although the factor between the candidates is about 4.64.

 

T = 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 13, 14, 7, 9, 20, 24, 16, 18, 30, 25, 27, 29, 41, 31, 35, 36, 38, 50, 52, 42, 46, 47, 49, 61, 63, 53, 57, 58, 64, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 79, 202, 92, 94, 96, 81, 83, 85, 86, 97, 203, 130, 205, 207, 241, 302, 413, 131, 303, 135, 242, 414, 136, 138, 141, 305, 246, 142, 416, 146, 147, 247, 249, 250, 252, 418, 149, 253, 161, 307, 257, 258, 163, 164, 168, 169, 270, 272, 420, 274, 181, 313, 183, 185, 275, 279, 292, 424, 186, 314, 294, 296, 316, 318, 350, 297, 425, 352, 427, 429, 461, 353, 502, 463, 503, 505, 357, 464, 613, 507, 468, 358, 361, 363, 520, 364, 614, 616, 368, 369, 469, 470, 381, 383, 524, 618, 385, 386, 472, 474, 630, 525, 702, 475, 703, 527, 479, 492, 494, 631, 496, 497, 529, 635, 705, 707, 530, 531, 636, 813, 535, 720, 536, 814, 638, 538, 570, 572, 574, 641, 642, 575, 724, 646, 816, 818, 579, 647, 581, 649, 681, 683, 583, 585, 725, 727, 586, 830, 729, 685, 741, 686, 831, 692, 742, 746, 835, 747,...

Lars.

I think "any 2 subsequent digits" would be better, "any pair" does not require that they are neighbors.

 

> S is supposed not to show twice the same integer, and S wants to be the lexicofirst such seq.

 

The sequence [starting with zero]:

0, 2, 1, 4, 3, 8, 5, 6, 7, 41, 11, 12, 9, 20, 21, 14, 16, 50, 23,...

has the same property and is lexicographically smaller than yours. ;-)

 

My script confirms your terms (if they are to be positive):

 

EA114(n,a=[1],u=0)={ while(#a<n, u+=1<<a[#a];

 for(t=a[1]+1,9e9, bittest(u,t) & next; my(d=concat(a[#a]%10,digits(t)));

 for(i=2,#d, isprime(d[i-1]+d[i]) || next(2)); a=concat(a,t);break));a }

 

> The same seq with prime absolute differences between digits is perhaps T:

> 

> T=1,3,5,2,4,6,8,13,14,7,9,20,24,16,18,30,25,27,29,41,31,35,36,38,50,52,42,46,

> 47,49,61,63,53,57,58,64,68,69,70,72,74,75,79,202,92,94,96,81,83,85,86,97,

> 203,130,205,207,241,302,413,131,...

 

Here, too, my script confirms your terms if they are to be positive:

 

EA114b(n,a=[1],u=0)={ while(#a<n, u+=1<<a[#a];

 for(t=a[1]+1,9e9, bittest(u,t) & next; my(d=concat(a[#a]%10,digits(t)));

 for(i=2,#d, isprime(abs(d[i-1]-d[i])) || next(2)); a=concat(a,t);break));a }

 

... and else yields [starting with zero]:

 

0, 2, 4, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 6, 8, 13, 14, 16, 18, 30, 20, 24, 25, 27, 29, 41, 31, 35, 36, 38, 50, 52, 42, 46, 47, 49, 61, 63, 53, 57, 58, 64,68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 79, 202, 92, 94, 96, 81, 83,...

 

A related sequence would be that of numbers which certainly will never be in any of these sequences, like 10,13,15,17,18,19,22,24,...

 

which is not yet on OEIS, and between 10 and 100 close to A104211         “Integers n such that the sum of the digits of n is not prime”.

 

Best wishes,

Maximilian

Many thanks, Lars and Maximilian!
