ID: addition-subtraction-chain

An addition-subtraction chain is a sequence of integers that starts with a specific number and generates subsequent numbers through a series of addition and subtraction operations. The goal is often related to computing a specific integer efficiently, particularly in the context of algorithms, number theory, or computational mathematics. ### Definition An **addition-subtraction chain** involves: - Starting from an initial number, typically \( a_0 = 1 \).
