Integer $s, t$ #
We explore $s$ and $t$ are positive integers.
Most statements here can be generalized to when $s/t$ are rationals, but the generalization will be deferred to homogeneity.
Main statements #
Φ
is the discrete version ofφ
for integer $s$ and $t$.Φ_neg
andΦ_rec
characterize sequenceΦ
as generated by a recurrence relation.ΦFormula
gives a formula forΦ
as a finite sum over setξSet
.ΦAsymptotic
shows the asymptotic behavior ofΦ
.dE_int_Asymptotic_coprime
shows the asymptotic behavior ofdE_int
(integer version ofdE
) when $s$ and $t$ are coprime.w_Asymtotic_int
shows the asymptotic behavior ofwₗᵢ
for integer $s$ and $t$.
When $s$ and $t$ are positive integers, Δ
collaps to a subset of $l \cdot \gcd(s, t)$
And obviously, all $δ$ are integers (natural numbers to be precise, but keeping it in ℤ simplifies some reasoning later).
We will also start creating the integer version of various objects we have created,
starting with δnext_int
.
Since δ
are all integers, their gaps is at least 1.
We can now define integer versions of δₖ
.

- Jceiled_int s t δ = Jceiled ↑↑s ↑↑t ↑δ

And the integer version of dE
.
Let's introduce a new sequence Φ(δ)
that's simply Jceiled_int
shifted by 1.
Φ(δ)
is the unique sequence that satisfies the following conditions:
Φ(< 0) = 1
Φ(δ ≥ 0) = Φ(δ - s) + Φ(δ - t)
As an example, for $s = 1$ and $t = 2$, this is the Fibonacci sequence (shifted in index).
Analog to φδₖ
, Φ
sends δₖ
back to nₖ
.
But since Φ
is discrete, we can develop another theorem:
when Φ
changes, it precisely correspond to when nₖ
move to the next value.
We will investigate the generator function $Z\{Φ\}(x) = \sum_{i\inℕ} Φ(i) x^i$ and and show that it converges to a nice function.
We will relate Φ with this polynomial.
Equations
- ξPolynomial s t = (Polynomial.monomial ↑s) 1 + (Polynomial.monomial ↑t) 1 - Polynomial.C 1
Instances For
Φ will be expanded in terms of ξSet
, the roots of ξPolynomial
.
We also show ξPolynomial
doesn't have multiple root and has simple factorization over ξSet
.
The generating function Z{Φ}(x) converges to a rational function. The bound here is not sharp, but it should be sufficient for future reasoning over complex plane.
By inverting the transformation, we obtain a formula for Φ
.
With formula for Φ
developed, we further show one of the term in its summation
is the "main" term that controls the growth rate, and use it to show the asymptotic behavior.
Equations
- ξPolynomialℝ s t = (Polynomial.monomial ↑s) 1 + (Polynomial.monomial ↑t) 1 - Polynomial.C 1
Instances For
ξ₀
Is the "main term" in ξSet
.
It is a real number between 0 and 1,
and has the smallest norm among ξSet
when $s$ an $t$ are coprime.
Φ
grows exponentially, and we can give explicit coefficients.
As the "inverse function" of Φ
, dE
grows like log
.
We first prove it for coprime $s$ and $t$, then generalize it to all integers.
wₖ
grows linearly w.r.t. nₖ
for integer $s$ and $t$.
We can then conclude that wₗᵢ
, as the linear interpolation, grows at the same rate.
