Dyadic clock structure conjecture for the perturbed Hofstadter recursion
Dyadic clock structure conjecture for the perturbed Hofstadter recursion
Let be the sequence and define the clock sequences
Let and be bounded or slowly varying functions. Dyadic clock structure conjecture. There appear to exist such functions satisfying
Thus the recursive indices are conjectured to remain asymptotically close to , with fluctuations governed primarily by the logarithmic scale. The claim is based on numerical experiments and is not resolved in the supplied text.
