Definitions - natural numbers |
Let be n the sequence of natural numbers (A000027 on the OEIS), we define : |
|
the jump of n by (A000012) |
d(n) = 1 ; |
|
l(n) by |
l(n) = largest l such that 1 = n mod l, 0 if no such l exists, or |
l(n) = n - 1 if n - 1 > 1, 0 otherwise ; |
|
the weight by (A020639) |
k(n) = smallest k such that 1 = n mod k, 0 if no such k exists, or |
k(n) = smallest k greater than 1, that divides n - 1 if n > 2, 0 otherwise ; |
|
the level by (A032742) |
L(n) = (n - 1) / k(n) if n > 2, 0 otherwise. |
|
The weight is the smallest prime factor of n - 1 and the level is the largest proper divisor of n - 1. |
We have n = k(n) * L(n) + 1 (A000027(n) = A020639(n-1) * A032742(n-1) + 1) when n > 2. |
|
Principles of classification : For n <= 2, n is not classified. If for n, k(n) > L(n) then n is classified by level if not n is classified by weight. |
