Interesting conjecture by Sequence Machine
Let $a(n)$ be A344960 (i.e., position of binary complement of $n$-th word in A341258). By definition, in order to calculate $a(n)$, we need to know A341258. Below we will correspond this sequence with ...

Examples of integer sequences coincidences
For the time being, the OEIS website contains almost $300000$ sequences. Each of these sequences is the mark of a specific mathematical concept. Sometimes two (or more) distinct concepts have the ...

Formula and smallest solution for the A260711
Let $a(n)$ be A260711 without initial $0$ (i.e., numbers of the form $x^2 - y^2$ with $x > y$ where $x$ and $y$ are odd, $x + y$ is a power of $2$).
The sequence begins with

Possible subsequence of the A110978
Let $a(n)$ be A110978 i.e. odd integers that are nonprime, such that there exist two factors of each number that when multiplied together in binary base, do not ever require the use of a "carry&...

Computationally challenging integer sequences
I wonder what are the examples of integer sequences, where only few elements are known and the researchers are still actively looking for the new terms. I think this discussion might be a good ...

A sequence potentially consisting of only integers
I will first ask the question which can be stated very simply. Afterwards I will explain some motivation and give references to related sequences.
Consider the sequence defined by
$$b_n = \frac{(...

Non-Wieferich primes with Euler quotient modulo $p$ two and alternating harmonic numbers
Let $b(n)$ denote the Euler quotient modulo $n$.
In OEIS we have A128465 Numbers k such that k divides the numerator of alternating Harmonic number H'((k+1)/2)
For $n>1$ we have $b(A128465(n))=2$.

Why does this "factorial sequence" appear in the OEIS?
For a reciprocal of a polynomial, $f = \frac{1}{p}$, we (presumably) may construct a sequence $(c_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ such that for all $N\ge 0$
$$f(k)k! = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} c_n(k-n)! + O((k-N)!). $$

Why can one compute the sum of divisors of $n$ without factoring $n$?
Question links to paper
which states:
$$
\sigma(n)= \frac{6}{n^2(n-1)}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}(3n^2-10k^2)\sigma(k)\sigma(n-k) \qquad (1)
$$
where $\sigma(n)$ is the sum of divisors of $n$.

My research paper involves computing additional terms of an existing OEIS sequence. Should I first amend the sequence or publish the results?
In the course of my research I computed terms of an existing OEIS sequence that are currently unknown. Having prepared my paper for publication, I am now faced with a (small) dilemma:
Do I first ...

Up to $10^6$: $\sigma(8n+1) \mod 4 = OEIS A001935(n) \mod 4$ (Number of partitions with no even part repeated )
Up to $10^6$:
$\sigma(8n+1) \mod 4 = OEIS A001935(n) \mod 4$
A001935 Number of partitions with no even part repeated
Is this true in general?
It would mean relation between restricted partitions ...
