Abstract
For , a -set is a set of integers such that every integer has at most one representation in the form , where for all and . The greedy -set is the infinite set of nonnegative integers constructed as follows: If and is a -set, then is the least positive integer such that is a -set. Then , , and for all . This paper proves that , the fourth term of the greedy -set is if is odd and if is even.
