For questions like this one I like to check the: https://oeis.org/ https://oeis.org/
Compute the first numbers in the sequence by hand and then see if they're already in the database.
- zarzavat 3y agoI like to do the same kind of experimental mathematics: 1. Write a Python script to brute force the first values of the sequence. 2. Search oeis for that sequence. 3. If (2) fails, simplify the problem and repeat. Sometimes you get a completely unexpected connection that you would never have come up with yourself just by thinking.
