Asymptotic analysis of a peculiar sum of squares sequence

Let $a,b$ be two positive integers. Let the sequence $\{s_n\}_n$ be the set of all possible sums of squares $a^2+b^2$, such that they are in ascending order \begin{align*} & n=1 & s_1=1^2+1^2=...

Quadratic progressions with very high prime density

In my previous MO question (see here), I solved the case for arithmetic progressions $f_k(x)=q_k x+1$. The solution is this: The list of sequences $f_k(x)$, each one corresponding to a specific $k$, ...

On the growth and bounds for a certain sequence of integers known as Bogotá numbers

A Bogotá number is a non-negative integer equal to some smaller number, or itself, times its digital product, i.e. the product of its digits. For example, 138 is a Bogotá number because 138 = 23 x (2 ...

What is the asymptotic of the irregular blue curve? Is it $(8x)^{1/2}$ or is it something else?

From Terry Tao's post here there is the statement: "Conversely, if one can somehow establish a bound of the form $$\displaystyle \sum_{n \leq x} \Lambda(n) = x + O( x^{1/2+\epsilon} ) \tag{1}$$ ...

Asymptotic of $\sum_{k=1}^n \operatorname{rad}(k!)$ and similar deductions

We denote for integers $m>1$ the product of the distinct prime numbers dividing $m$ as $$\operatorname{rad}(m)=\prod_{\substack{p\mid m\\p\text{ prime}}}p,$$ with the definition $\operatorname{rad}(...

Asymptotic size for the number of terms not exceeding $n$ in the class $r$ for a classification of the type Erdös-Selfridge for square-free integers

It is possible to define a classification similar than the Erdös-Selfridge classification of primes for different sequences. Please ee [1], section A18 and the references cited in this book. Because ...

Count weighted integer compositions

What is the asymptotic growth of the sequence $$a_n:=\sum_{k\geq 0} 3^k c_{n,k},$$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$, where $c_{n,k}$ denotes the number of integer compositions of $n$ with exactly $k$ many 2s? ...

More asymptotics for trees

This is a follow up to my recent question on the asymptotics of A003238. Lucia gave a fine answer to that question, but as I hinted the 'real' problem I have in mind is slightly different, and I've ...

Are the asymptotics of A003238 known?

Sequence A003238 of the OEIS counts ``rooted trees with $n$ vertices in which vertices at the same level have the same degree.'' The sequence, $a$, begins 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 16, ... and it is ...

Asymptotic behavior of the sequence $u_n = u_{n-1}^2-n$

I am currently interested in the following sequence: $$\begin{cases}u_0 & = & \alpha\\u_n & = & u_{n-1}^2-n\end{cases}$$ where $\alpha > C \approx 1.75793275... $ with $C$ being the ...
