Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 19 2006 %C A000027 Define a number of points lines on a straight line to be in general arrangement when no two points coincide. Then these are the numbers of regions defined by n points in general arrangement on a straight line, when an offset of 0 is assumed. For instance, a(0)=1, since using no point at all leaves one region. The sequence satisfies the following recursion a(n) = a(n-1) + 1. This has the following geometrical interpretation: Suppose there are already n-1 points in general arrangement, thus defining the maximal number of regions on a straight line obtainable by n-1 points and now one more point is added in general arrangement. Then it will coincide with no other point and act as a dividing wall thereby creating one new region in addition to the a(n-1)=(n-1)+1=n regions already there, hence a(n)=a(n-1)+1. Cf. the comments on A000124 for an analogous interpretation. - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Oct 19 2006 %C A000027 The sequence a(n)=n (for n=1,2,3) and a(n)=n+1 (for n=4,5,...) gives to the rank (minimal cardinality of a generating set) for the semigroup I_n\S_n, where I_n and S_n denote the symmetric inverse semigroup and symmetric group on [n]. - James East (james.east(AT)latrobe.edu.au), May 03 2007 %C A000027 The sequence a(n)=n (for n=1,2), a(n)=n+1 (for n=3) and a(n)=n+2 (for n=4,5,...) gives the rank (minimal cardinality of a generating set) for the semigroup PT_n\T_n, where PT_n and T_n denote the partial transformation semigroup and transformation semigroup on [n]. - James East (james.east(AT)latrobe.edu.au), May 03 2007 %C A000027 Comment from Clark Kimberling (ck6(AT)evansville.edu), Jul 07 2007: (Start) "God made the integers; all else is the work of man." This famous quotation is a translation of "Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk," spoken by Leopold Kronecker in a lecture at the Berliner Naturforscher-Versammlung in 1886. %C A000027 It is not clear, nor important, whether the "ganzen Zahlen" means the whole numbers, A000027, or all the integers, A130472. What is more important is that the adjective "liebe" in "liebe Gott." Walter Felscher explains that because "lieber Gott" is a colloquial phrase usually used only when speaking to children or illiterati, Kronecker's witticism was not intended as a theologico-philosophical statement. %C A000027 Possibly the first publication of the statement is in Heinrich Weber's "Leopold Kronecker," Jahresberichte D.M.V. 2 (1893) 5-31.

Its inverse is given %C A000027 by I(k)=(g,h), where g = k - J(J-1)/2, h = J + 1 - g, J = floor((1 + sqrt(8k - 7)/2). %C A000027 Thus I(1)=(1,1), I(2)=(1,2), I(3)=(2,1) and so on; the mapping I fills the %C A000027 first-quadrant lattice by successive antidiagonals.
