Sequences from Graham, Knuth, Patashnik "Concrete Math"

From OeisWiki

  • For a long time I (njas) have had the idea that it would be useful to have a series of concordances which would list the integer sequences to be found in certain classical books (Riordan, Comtet, Harary and Palmer, Stanley, Knuth, etc.). Here is the fourth of these, a concordance to: R. L. Graham, D. E. Knuth and O. Patashnik's Concrete Mathematics, Addison-Wesley, 2nd Ed., 1994, based on a first draft prepared by Olivier Gerard, ogerard@ext.jussieu.fr
  • The idea is that when you are reading one of these books, these files will give pointers to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences whenever an interesting sequence is mentioned. This will enable you to see the terms of the sequence, recurrences, formulae, other references, links, most recent progress, etc.
  • Furthermore, the preparation of these concordances will supply additional sequences for the database, and additional references for existing sequences.
  • This version is only a preliminary draft and needs to be expanded. If you can help, please either edit this page, or contact Neil Sloane, njasloane@gmail.com.
  • For the current list of these concordances, see here.
