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 ...

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{(...

Is OEIS A007018 really a subsequence of squarefree numbers?
A comment in A007018 a(n) = a(n-1)^2 + a(n-1), a(0)=1 claims
Subsequence of squarefree numbers (A005117). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 15 2004
Is that really so?
As far as I know, it is an open ...

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 ...

Integrals of power towers
Let's assume $x\in[0,1]$, and restrict all functions of $x$ that we consider to this domain. Consider a sequence $\mathcal S_n$ of sets of functions, where $n^{\text{th}}$ element is the set of all ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 $N\ge 0$
$$f(k)k! = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} c_n(k-n)! + O((k-N)!). $$
I ...

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

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 ...

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 $n$.

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 $b(A128465(n))=2$.
