Does $a_{i}(n)$ hit every positive integers infinitely many times for all $i\ge1$?

This question is related to a family of sequences. I have a simple definition as below and I have a question based on my limited observations for $i\le200$ and $n \le 10^{9}$. Definition. $a_{i}(1) = …

On $\sum_{k=1}^nk^3 = x^3 + y^3$ with $x,y \ge 1$

My question is related to https://oeis.org/A269839. It is well-known that there are parametric families of solutions for cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.08901.pdf. …

Is there a positive odd $n$ such that $\sigma(\sigma(n)) = \sigma(\sigma(n)-n)+\sigma(n)$?

Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the divisors of $n$. (https://oeis.org/A000203) It is relatively easy to find numbers $n$ such that $f(g(n)) = g(f(n))$ where $f(n) = \sigma(n)$ and $g(n) = \sigma(n) …

On nontotient Fibonacci numbers

This question is related to sequence of numbers $t$ such that $F_{6t}$ is a nontotient where $F_n$ represents the sequence of Fibonacci numbers for $n\geq 0$. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia has the …

A question on $a_i(n) = a_i(\pi(n)) + a_i(n-\pi(n))$ with $a_i(n) = 1$ for $n \le i$

Let $a_i(n) = a_i(\pi(n)) + a_i(n-\pi(n))$ with $a_i(n) = 1$ for $n \le i$ where $\pi(n)$ is the prime-counting function. By definition, it is obvious that $a_1(n) = n$ and $a_2(n)$ is https://oeis.or …

Why are attempts to define chaos with discrete states so scarce?

Interestingly, the theory of nested recurrence relations has been correlated with “discrete chaos” by Golomb (1991) and Tanny (1992). And in literature, there are very few studies that have different …

A question related to the Hofstadter–Conway \$10000 sequence

The Hofstadter–Conway \$10000 sequence is defined by the nested recurrence relation $$c(n) = c(c(n-1)) + c(n-c(n-1))$$ with $c(1) = c(2) = 1$. This sequence is A004001 and it is well-known that this s …
