If A = {a_1, a_2, a_3...} is the Moser-de Bruijn sequence A000695 (consisting of sums of distinct powers of 4) and A' = {2a_1, 2a_2, 2a_3...} then this sequence, let's call it B, is the union of A and A'. Its significance, alluded to in the entry for the Moser-de Bruijn sequence, is that its sumset, B+B, = {b_i + b_j : i, j natural numbers} consists of the nonnegative integers; and it is the fastest-growing sequence with this property. It can also be described as a "basis of order two for the nonnegative integers". |

FORMULA
|
G.f. = sum(T(i, x) + U(i, x), i = 1..infinity), where
T := (k,x) -> x^(2^k-1)*V(k,x);
U := (k,x) -> 2*x^(3*2^(k-1)-1)*V(k,x); and
V := (k,x) -> (1-x^(2^(k-1)))*(4^(k-1) + sum(4^j*x^(2^j)/(1+x^(2^j)), j = 0..k-2))/(1-x);
Generating function. Define V(k) := [4^(k-1) + Sum ( j=0 to k-2, 4^j * x^(2^j)/(1+x^(2^j)) )] * (1-x^(2^(k-1)))/(1-x) and T(k) := (x^(2^k-1) * V(k), U(k) := x^(3*2^(k-1)-1) * V(k) then G.f. is Sum ( i >= 1, T(i) + U(i) ). Functional equation: if the sequence is a(n), n = 1, 2, 3, ... and h(x) := Sum ( n >= 1, x^a(n) ) then h(x) satisfies the following functional equation: (1 + x^2)*h(x^4) - (1 - x)*h(x^2) - x*h(x) + x^2 = 0.

EXAMPLE
|
All nonnegative integers can be represented in the form b_i + b_j; e.g. 6 = 5+1, 7 = 5+2, 8 = 0+8, 9 = 4+5
