Hidden divisors chase

 

Hello SeqFans,

 

... let’s start a monotonically increasing S with 1,2:

 

S = 1,2,...

 

... if we concatenate 1 and 2 we get ‘12’ which has 1,2,3,4,6,12 as divisors being different. What would be the smallest integer now (to prolong S), which, concatenated with 2, has 5 in its divisors? (This 5 is the "next hidden divisor" we are looking for.)

 

We try 3 -- but [23] has no 5 among its divisors --,

we try 4 -- but [24] has no 5 among its divisors --,

we try 5 -- and get a hit as [25] is divisible by 5:

 

S = 1,2,5,...

 

[12] produces "hidden div." 1,2,3,4,6,12

[25] produces "hidden div." 1,5,25

 

The next hidden divisor is 7 (we already have 6 thanks to [12]); now, which a(4) would fit S?

This is 6 -- as 56 is divisible by 7:

 

S = 1,2,5,6,...

 

We must always keep track of the hidden divisors (HD) we have found so far, in order not to search twice for divisors we already have:

 

[12] produces HD = 1,2,3,4,6,12

[25] produces HD = 1,5,25

[56] produces HD = 1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56

 

The next HD we want is thus 9; so a(5) is 12:

 

S = 1,2,5,6,12,...

 

 [12] produces HD = 1,2,3,4,6,12

 [25] produces HD = 1,5,25

 [56] produces HD = 1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56

[612] produces HD = 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,17,18,34,36,51,68,102,153,204,306

 

... etc. I’ve computed (by hand) a few more terms, which I’m sure are wrong at some point (this was late night yesterday – 21st February 2010):

 

S = 1,2,5,6,12,20,24,31,35,36,54,72,...

 

Could someone please check and compute a few more terms?

 

---

 

BTW:

A similar seq. dealing with HDs would be T:

 

T = 1,0,2,0,6,...

 

Where we concatenate _every integer_ printed so far to produce the HDs:

 

     [1] produces HD = 1

    [10] produces HD = 1,2,5,10

   [102] produces HD = 1,3,6,17,34,102

  [1020] produces HD = 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,17,20,30,34,51,60,68,85,102,170,204,255,340,510

 

... and to get the next HD (7), I guess we must prolong T with ‘6’...

 

Lots of fun with HDs!

Best,

É.

The next day Jean-Marc Falcoz was sending me the message hereunder, together with a nice diagram -- thank you, Jean-Marc!

 

Salut Éric,

 

Voici 2000 termes de ta suite Hidden divisors of [a(n) and a(n+1) concatenated]. Bravo pour ton calcul à la main, la machine te donne raison jusqu’à 72. En PJ, le graphe des termes avec le graphe superposé de 0.77...*x^2. On voit que ta suite suit (si j’ose dire ;) très bien cette fonction, marrant, non ?

 

Tout de bon !

J.-M.
