(a+b) divides the concatenation [a,b]

 

Hello SeqFans,

 

U = 1,2,4,5,10,12,15,18,36,45, ...

 

-> U is monotonically increasing

-> a(1)=1

-> a(n+1) is the smallest integer > a(n) such that [a(n)+a(n+1)] divides the concatenation [a(n),a(n+1)]

 

Example here:

 

1+2 divides 12

2+4 divides 24

4+5 divides 45

5+10 divides 510

...

 

Dropping the monotonically increasing constraint would give V -- I hope I didn’t make my usual mistakes too soon:

 

V = 1,2,4,5,10,8,14,7,26,13,20,16,17,34,32,12,6,3,...

 

Rule:

« Smallest integer not yet present in V such that [a(n)+a(n+1)] divides the concatenation of [a(n),a(n+1)] »

 

Example here:

 

1+2 divides 12    ->  12/3=4

2+4 divides 24    ->  24/6=4

4+5 divides 45    ->  45/9=5

5+10 divides 510  -> 510/15=34

10+8 divides 108  -> 108/18=6

8+14 divides 814  -> 814/22=37

...

Best,

É.

Thanks, Maximilian, I love those two sequences (I hope you’ll submit them to the OEIS and co-author)!

 

Best,
