COMMENT

This permutation of the natural numbers is the "MD sequence" for (M,D)=(3,2). The "MD question" is this: for relatively prime M and D, does the MD sequence contain every positive integer exactly once? An affirmative proof for the more general condition that log base D of M is irrational is given by Mateusz Kwasnicki in Crux Mathematicorum 30 (2004) 235-239. - Clark Kimberling (ck6(AT)evansville.edu), Jun 30 2004
