COMMENTS

Modified wave sequence based on the heptagon.

In any row p of three terms q, r, s, (D3)^(p+1) = (D3)*q + (D2)*r + (D1)*s, where D3, D2 and D1 are the heptagon diagonals 2.246979603...(Sin 3*Pi/7 / Sin Pi/7), 1.801937735...(Sin 2Pi/7 / Sin Pi/7) and 1, respectively. Example: when p = 3, M^3 * [1,0,0] = (6,5,3). Then (D3)^4 = 6*(D3) + 5*(D2) + 3*(D1); or, 25.491566... = 13.481877... + 9.009688... + 3.

LINKS

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,0,2,0,0,1,0,0,-1).

FORMULA

In subsets of p = 3 terms, generated from M^p * [1,0,0],(p=0,1,2...); where M = the heptagon matrix [1,1,1; 1,1,0; 1,0,0].

EXAMPLE

With p = 0, 1, 2...we perform M^p * [1,0,0], getting column vectors of 3 terms in each row,

1, 0, 0;

1, 1, 1;

3, 2, 1;

...

which we append to form a continuous string: (1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 1...)
