The Kolakoski Sequence

In previous blogs, we’ve looked at some interesting integer sequences. We’ve looked at the Fibonacci sequence, the Look-and-say sequence, Golomb’s sequence, Van Eck’s sequence and the Lazy Caterer’s sequence. Today, we’re looking at the Kolakoski Sequence.This fun sequence can be found on the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences here. The… Continue reading The Kolakoski Sequence

The Lazy Caterer’s Sequence

In previous blogs, we’ve looked at some interesting integer sequences. We’ve looked at the Fibonacci sequence, the Look-and-say sequence, Golomb’s sequence and Van Eck’s sequence. Today, we’re looking at the Lazy Caterer’s sequence.You can find this sequence on the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences here. How to generate the sequence… Continue reading The Lazy Caterer’s Sequence

Van Eck’s Sequence

In previous blogs, we’ve looked at some interesting integer sequences. We started with the Fibonacci sequence, then the “Look-and-say” sequence and most recently Golomb’s sequence. Today, it’s Van Eck’s sequence.The sequence was first published to the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) in 2010 by a hobby mathematician called Jan… Continue reading Van Eck’s Sequence

The Golomb Sequence

In previous blogs, we’ve looked at some interesting integer sequences. We started with the daddy of all integer sequences, the Fibonacci sequence. Then, the Look and Say sequence. Today’s sequence is the Golomb sequence.The sequence is named after its founder, American mathematician Solomon Golomb. Golomb was not only an accomplished… Continue reading The Golomb Sequence

The Look-and-Say Sequence

In a previous blog I looked in more detail into “the daddy of all integer sequences” - the Fibonacci sequence. While the Fibonacci sequence is an impossible sequence to match up to, there are plenty of other intriguing integer sequences out there. So if you can deal with the disappointment… Continue reading The Look-and-Say Sequence
