COMMENTS

This is the first of four sequences that partition the positive integers. Suppose that u = (u(n)) and v = (v(n)) are increasing sequences of positive integers. Let u' and v' be their (increasing) complements, and consider these four sequences:

(1) v o u, defined by (v o u)(n) = v(u(n));

(2) v' o u;

(3) v o u';

(4) v' o u'.

Every positive integer is in exactly one of the four sequences. For the reverse composites, u o v, u o v', u' o v, u' o v', see A356056 to A356059.

Assume that if w is any of the sequences u, v, u', v', then lim_{n->oo) w(n)/n exists and defines the (limiting) density of w. For w = u,v,u',v', denote the densities by r,s,r',s'. Then the densities of sequences (1)-(4) exist, and

1/(r*r') + 1/(r*s') + 1/(s*s') + 1/(s*r') = 1.

For A356138, u, v, u', v', are the Beatty sequences given by u(n) = floor(n*sqrt(2)) and v(n) = floor(n*(1/2 + sqrt(2)), so that r = sqrt(2), s = 1/2 + sqrt(2), r' = 2 + sqrt(2), s' = (9 + 4*sqrt(2))/7.

(2) v' o u = (2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, 23, 25, 29, 31, 33, 37, ...) = A356139
