In the first chapter of their classic book "Concrete Mathematics", Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik consider the maximum number of pieces that can be obtained from a pancake by making…
The Comma Sequence: A Simple Sequence With Bizarre Properties
Eric Angelini, Michael S. Branicky, Giovanni Resta +2
The ``comma sequence'' starts with 1 and is defined by the property that if k and k' are consecutive terms, the two-digit number formed from the last digit of k and the first digit…
A Coloring Book Approach to Finding Coordination Sequences
C. Goodman-Strauss, N. J. A. Sloane
An elementary method is described for finding the coordination sequences for a tiling, based on coloring the underlying graph. We illustrate the method by first applying it to the…
On Non-Squashing Partitions
N. J. A. Sloane, James A. Sellers
A partition n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k is called non-squashing if p_1 + ... + p_j <= p_{j+1} for 1 <= j <= k-1. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that…
