Odlyzko–Stanley conjecture on the growth of -Stanley sequences
Let be an odd prime. A -Stanley sequence is generated greedily from a -free set of nonnegative integers, by adjoining at each step the smallest larger integer that preserves -freeness. Odlyzko–Stanley conjecture. Every -Stanley sequence satisfies one of the following two growth laws:
or
The first law is the modular, digit-structured behavior, while the second is the conjectured chaotic behavior motivated by the authors' heuristic. The source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
