Integer sequences

Integer sequences are ordered lists of integers. Each integer in the sequence can be distinct or can repeat, and they can follow a specific mathematical rule or pattern. Integer sequences are often studied in various areas of mathematics, including number theory, combinatorics, and combinatorial optimization. Some famous examples of integer sequences include: 1. **Fibonacci Sequence**: A sequence where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1.

Base-dependent integer sequences are sequences of integers that vary based on the numeral system (base) used to represent numbers. In other words, the way we express numbers in different bases can lead to different sequences of integers when applying specific rules or transformations. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Base Representation**: Each integer can be represented in different numeral systems, such as binary (base 2), decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), etc.

A binary sequence is a sequence of numbers where each number is either a 0 or a 1. These sequences are fundamental in various fields, particularly in computer science and digital electronics, as they represent the most basic form of data storage and processing. ### Characteristics of Binary Sequences: 1. **Composition**: Each element of the sequence can take on one of two possible values: 0 or 1.

Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers in which each number (after the first two) is the sum of the two preceding ones. The sequence starts with 0 and 1, and proceeds as follows: - 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ...

A perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors, excluding itself. In simpler terms, a perfect number is a number that is the sum of its divisors (excluding the number itself). For example: - The first perfect number is 6. Its divisors are 1, 2, and 3, and their sum is \(1 + 2 + 3 = 6\). - The second perfect number is 28.

Pseudoprimes are composite numbers that satisfy certain properties of prime numbers in specific mathematical contexts. More formally, a pseudoprime relates to the concept of prime numbers in that they can pass certain primality tests, which are typically designed to identify prime numbers. One common type of pseudoprime is the "Fermat pseudoprime.
