Decimal expansion of 101/450.

Also list of smallest n-composites.

A hyperoperator aggregation b[n]c is n-composite if b,c are positive non-right-identity elements.

The identity elements are:

Hyper-0 (zeration): none.

Hyper-1 (addition): 0.

Hyper-2 (multiplication): 1.

Hyper-3 (exponentiation): 1.

Hyper-n (n>2): 1.

For more information on hyperoperations see A054871.

Essentially the same as A255176, A151798, A123932, A113311, A040002 and A010709. - R. J. Mathar, May 25 2023

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..101.

Formula

a(n) = a[n]b where a,b are the positive smallest non-right-identity elements.

Example

a(0) = 2 because 1 is the smallest non-identity element in zeration and 1[0]1=2;
a(1) = 2 because 1 is the smallest non-identity element in addition and 1[1]1=2;
a(2) = 4 because 2 is the smallest non-identity element in multiplication and 2[2]2=4;
a(3) = 4 because 2 is the smallest non-identity element in exponentiation and 2[2]2=4;
a(4) = 4 because 2 is the smallest non-identity element in titration and 2[2]2=4;
Etc.
