Define sequences a(n), b(n), c(n) recursively, starting with a(0) = 1, b(0) = 2:
a(n) = least new k >= 2*b(n-1);
b(n) = least new k;
c(n) = a(n) + b(n);
where "least new k" means the least positive integer not yet placed.
***
The sequences a,b,c partition the positive integers.
***
Let x = 11/6. Conjectures:
a(n) - 2*n*x = 0 for infinitely many n;
b(n) - n*x = 0 for infinitely many n;
c(n) - 3*n*x = 0 for infinitely many n;
(a(n) - 2*n*x) is unbounded below and above;
(b(n) - n*x) is unbounded below and above;
(c(n) - 3*n*x) is unbounded below and above;
***
Let d(a), d(b), d(c) denote the respective difference sequences. Conjectures:
12 occurs infinitely many times in d(a); 6 occurs infinitely many times in d(b);
2 occurs infinitely many times in d(c).
