Ben-Naim–Krapivsky moment-growth conjecture for the Ulam–Kac adder
Ben-Naim–Krapivsky moment-growth conjecture for the Ulam–Kac adder
Let be the Ulam–Kac adder sequence, and write when . For each positive integer , let denote the constant governing the logarithmic growth of the th moment. Ben-Naim–Krapivsky's moment-growth conjecture. There is an increasing sequence of positive constants such that
This conjecture is based on numerical evidence and extends the known first- and second-moment asymptotics for the Ulam–Kac adder; its general validity remains open.
