Definition: A sequence that has a transcendental number involved in the term and when is substituted and the result is rounded or left as it is, it produces all or most of the natural numbers.
Example:
Result:
Challenge:
Prove that there is more sequences that meet the definition using algebraic proof or Python program.
Challenge :
Prove that the sequence shows most of or all of the natural numbers using algebraic proof or Python program.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

All numbers don't exist in above sequence as
Algebraic Proof
Above function is an increasing function, I.e. as we enter consecutive n's, the difference between consecutive values increase. At one point, the difference will go above 2 and one number won't exist.

Result?
Also, show the algebraic proof?
Log in to reply
I showed.
For the second challenge, should I put doesn't? @Aryan Sanghi
And most in the definiton?
Log in to reply
Yes, you should put.

Other sequences exist
A decreasing transcendental sequence can satisfy above equation as it is a decreasing function and difference will decrease between two consecutive numbers and will show all numbers eventually. @Yajat Shamji it's a challenge by me to find such function.@Aryan Sanghi, I have made the note.

Are you sure that whenever n is substituted, the number is transcendental in above equation?
Log in to reply
Yes. Should I add that? @Aryan Sanghi

@Aryan Sanghi?
But what do you think,@Zakir Husain?
@Yajat Shamji I wasn't able to see your comment in the report. What did you say?

I deleted the report, that's why?
First comment was 11:30am GMT?
Second comment was you really need proof (for the checkmate square), don't you?

I have class exactly at that time. What about 2:30?

11:30am GMT = 12:30pm BST!
Seriously? You can't do that?
