COMMENTS
| The n-th greedy power of x, when 0.5 < x < 1, is the smallest integer exponent a(n) that does not cause the power series sum_{k=1..n} x^a(k) to exceed unity.
|
|
|
FORMULA
| a(n)=sum_{k=1..n}floor(g_k) where g_1=1, g_{n+1}=log_x(x^frac(g_n) - x) (n>0) at x=(1/sqrt(3)) and frac(y) = y - floor(y).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(3)=5 since (1/sqrt(3)) + (1/sqrt(3))^2 + (1/sqrt(3))^5 < 1 and (1/sqrt(3)) +(1/sqrt(3))^2 + (1/sqrt(3))^4 > 1; since the power 4 makes the sum > 1, then 5 is the 3th greedy power of (1/sqrt(3)).
