A sequence X_1, X_2, ... of random variates is called Markov (or Markoff) if, for any n, F(X_n|X_(n-1),X_(n-2),...,X_1)=F(X_n|X_(n-1)), i.e., if the conditional distribution ...

A sequence of n 0s and 1s is called an odd sequence if each of the n sums sum_(i=1)^(n-k)a_ia_(i+k) for k=0, 1, ..., n-1 is odd.

An array B=b_(ij), i,j>=1 of positive integers is called a dispersion if 1. The first column of B is a strictly increasing sequence, and there exists a strictly increasing ...

A Skolem sequence of order n is a sequence S={s_1,s_2,...,s_(2n)} of 2n integers such that 1. For every k in {1,2,...,n}, there exist exactly two elements s_i,s_j in S such ...

A sequence {a_n} such that either (1) a_(i+1)>=a_i for every i>=1, or (2) a_(i+1)<=a_i for every i>=1.

The Thue-Morse sequence, also called the Morse-Thue sequence or Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence (Allouche and Cosnard 2000), is one of a number of related sequences of numbers ...

A sequence is said to be convergent if it approaches some limit (D'Angelo and West 2000, p. 259). Formally, a sequence S_n converges to the limit S lim_(n->infty)S_n=S if, ...

A series is called artistic if every three consecutive terms have a common three-way ratio P[a_i,a_(i+1),a_(i+2)]=((a_i+a_(i+1)+a_(i+2))a_(i+1))/(a_ia_(i+2)). A series is ...

A sequence {a_i} is said to be periodic with period p with if it satisfies a_i=a_(i+np) for n=1, 2, .... For example, {1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,...} is a periodic sequence ...

Let a sequence {a_i}_(i=1)^infty be strictly increasing and composed of nonnegative integers. Call A(x) the number of terms not exceeding x. Then the density is given by ...
