Hinman's generalized period conjecture for Ulam sequences U(1,n)
Hinman's generalized period conjecture for Ulam sequences U(1,n)
For integers , let be the Ulam sequence whose later terms are the smallest integers representable as sums of two distinct prior terms in exactly one way. For a positive real number , reduction modulo is taken using representatives in an interval of length . Hinman's generalized period conjecture. For every integer , there exist real numbers and such that, for every ,
Furthermore, for , one can take , where . This folklore generalization is supported by numerical evidence; the asymptotic statement is not proved in the source.
