We discuss a problem initially thought for the Mathematical Olympiad but which has several interpretations. The recurrence sequences involved in this problem may be generalized to recurrence sequences related to a much larger set of…

In this paper, we give recurrence relations and identities for some integer sequences related to Ward numbers such as Ward-Lah numbers, varied Ward numbers and binomial Ward numbers. Most of the sequences are entered in the On-Line…

The paperfolding sequences form an uncountable class of infinite sequences over the alphabet $\{ -1, 1 \}$ that describe the sequence of folds arising from iterated folding of a piece of paper, followed by unfolding. In this note we observe…

$a_n=[x^n](1-x)^{-n}(1-x^2)^{-n}$ is the sequence A348410 in the Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. Using a method from Hautus and Klarner from 1971 and the software \textsf{Gfun} we find an algebraic equation for the generating function…

We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…

We use elementary methods to establish three key recurrence relations: one for derangement numbers, a second for harmonic numbers, and a third for degenerate harmonic numbers. Our results not only contribute to the understanding of the…

We prove an existing conjecture that the sequence defined recursively by $a_1=1, a_2=2, a_n=4a_{n-1}-2a_{n-2}$ counts the number of length-$n$ permutations avoiding the four generalized permutation patterns 1-32-4, 1-42-3, 2-31-4, and…
