| Sep 26, 2020 at 22:18 | comment | added | Vincent Granville | I think there are still typos, but not in the formulas anymore. I won't fix them, they are of no concern. I now also have a closed form for $X_k$, but no more editing. Actually, so much more to add, but that will be in another question, or in an article I plan to write. | |

| Sep 24, 2020 at 6:42 | comment | added | Vincent Granville | The workaround I have is to edit the question, save the content in Notepad on my desktop, and not publish the edit on MO. Do that 15 times, bring the notepad version back to MO for a "private edit" without saving it on MO, and instead save the edits in Notepad each time, until after a while it's good enough that I can actually publish the final version on MO. Not ideal, but that way nobody but me will see the intermediate edits. | |
| Sep 24, 2020 at 6:31 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Well, I found a couple of things at mathoverflow.net/help/deleted-questions It says, Users can delete their own questions if the question: has zero answers; has only one answer, but that answer has no upvotes; has no bounties that were awarded to any answer that isn't already deleted. It also says, "Self-deleted questions can be viewed and undeleted by their original authors. If you delete your own question, you must undelete it before you are able to edit it." So, I think your suggestion won't work. | |
| Sep 24, 2020 at 6:27 | comment | added | Vincent Granville | I will check the FAQ or ask my question about "private posting" in the appropriate forum. | |
| Sep 24, 2020 at 6:22 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | I'm not sure whether you can delete a question such as this one that has an answer with many upvotes. There's probably something about that in an FAQ somewhere. | |
| Sep 24, 2020 at 6:17 | comment | added | Vincent Granville | Is there a way to make the question invisible / hidden for (say) 2 weeks so you can make many edits without bothering anyone until it's finalized? If I delete it, can I still edit it in private, and then restore it 2 weeks later? I suppose MO works differently, but on my blog you can save as draft (nobody but you see it) until you decide to publish. And you can un-publish / re-publish. Wondering if there is such a feature here. | |
| Sep 24, 2020 at 6:00 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | No, it's 14 versions of the question. Each edit brings the question back to the front page, bumping off some other question. Each edit makes the question more of a moving target, more difficult to answer, more work for the reader to see what has really changed. Each edit may cause some readers to wonder why the author couldn't get it right the first time, or the second, or ... or the 13th. | |
| Sep 24, 2020 at 5:53 | comment | added | Vincent Granville | @ Gerry: I am only editing my answer, not sure if this counts in the 14 versions. Of course I want to minimize edits, but still have to make a lot of effort in that direction. For instance now I have found the exact number of planes for the sequence $Y_k$ in my answer, as a function of $b_1,b_2$.. | |
| Sep 24, 2020 at 5:24 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Version 14 of this question. | |
