A permutation of N in triplets
Hello SeqFans,
S =
1,2,3,4,5,9,6,7,13,8,11,19,10,17,27,12,23,35,14,15,29,16,21,37,18,25,43,...
See S as a succession of triplets [a,b,c]:
S =
1,2,3,
4,5,9,
6,7,13,
8,11,19,
10,17,27,
12,23,35,
14,15,29,
16,21,37,
18,25,43,
...
Rule 1) a+b=c
Rule 2) "a" and "b" share no common factor (except 1)
"b" and "c" share no common factor (except 1)
"c" and "a" share no common factor (except 1)
Rule 3) S is a permutation of the Naturals
To build S is easy:
- write N
- start from the left and:
-> put a "+" on top of two yet unmarked
integer which will obey
rules (1) and (2) (always start with
the smallest unmarked integer)
-> put a "=" on top of the result
taking the same rules into account
We have:
N = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ...
+ + =
N = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ...
giving the first triplet [1,2,3]
(used
integers will be marked with
a dot "." from now
on)
. . . + + =
N = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ...
giving the third triplet [6,7,13]
. . . . . . . + . + . =

giving the third triplet [8,11,19]
. . . . . . . . . + . .

17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ...
giving the fourth triplet [10,17,27]
. . . . . . . . . . . +

N = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ...
giving the sixth triplet [12,23,35]
etc.
I'm not 100% sure that S is
infinite...
Could someone compute a hundred or so terms
(if interested)
Best,
