SYLVS00000

Sequence

0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Description

Sylvester-type sequence starting with 0. Submitted by Anton Mravcek.

Mathematica Command

Sylvester0 = Table[0, {20}]; Do[Sylvester0[[m]] = (Times @@ Sylvester0[[Range[n]]]) + 1, {m, 2, 20}, {n, m - 1}]; Sylvester0

Thanks to Alonso Delarte for this program.

Comments

Numerically, for n = 0 forward, this sequence is the same as Sloane's A057427. This sequence is undefined for negative n, while A057427(n) = -1 for all negative n.

Description

Sylvester-type sequence starting with 5.


SYLVS00006

Sequence

6, 7, 43, 1807, 3263443

Description

Sylvester-type sequence starting with 6.

Comments

Since 6 = 2 × 3, this sequence is exactly the same as Sylvester's sequence starting with 2, apart from the initial terms and subsequent offsets. We can generalize that any Sylvester-type sequence starting with a heteromecic number (a number of the form n(n + 1)) will be almost exactly the same as a Sylvester-type sequence starting with n (for example, the Sylvester-type sequence starting with 12 is very similar to the one starting with 3).
