Sequences from Graham, Knuth and Patashnik's "Concrete Mathematics"

  • For a long time I have had the idea that it would be useful to have a series of concordances which would list the integer sequences to be found in certain classical books (Riordan, Comtet, Harary and Palmer, Stanley, Knuth, etc.). Here is the fourth of these, a concordance to:

    R. L. Graham, D. E. Knuth and O. Patashnik's

    "Concrete Mathematics", Addison-Wesley, 2nd Ed., 1994

    based on a first draft prepared by

    Olivier Gerard, ogerard@ext.jussieu.fr

  • The idea is that when you are reading one of these books, these files will give pointers to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences whenever an interesting sequence is mentioned. This will enable you to see the terms of the sequence, recurrences, formulae, other references, links, most recent progress, etc.
  • Furthermore, the preparation of these concordances will supply additional sequences for the database, and additional references for existing sequences.
