NAME

Math::NumSeq::KlarnerRado -- Klarner-Rado sequences

SYNOPSIS

 use Math::NumSeq::KlarnerRado;
 my $seq = Math::NumSeq::KlarnerRado->new;
 my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

Start with 1, then for any k in the sequence then 2*k, 3*k+2 and 6*k+3 are in the sequence too. Thus 1,2,4,5,8,9,etc.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.

$seq = Math::NumSeq::KlarnerRado->new ()

$seq = Math::NumSeq::KlarnerRado->new (start => $n)

Create and return a new sequence object.

The optional start parameter can start the sequence from a value other than 1, which changes the sequence and in general bigger values thin out the sequence.

$bool = $seq->pred($value)

Return true if $value occurs in the sequence.

FORMULAS

Predicate

Taking value mod 6 can say whether it's a descendant of one of the 2*k, 3*k+2, 6*k+3 forms, and thus give one or two reduced values to then check for being in the sequence.

    value mod 6    descendant of       reduce to
         0           2k               value/2
         1           none             
         2           2k or 3k+2       value/2 and (value-2)/3
         3           6k+3             (value-3)/6
         4           2k               value/2
         5           3k+2             (value-2)/3

The reduction dividing out 2, 3 or 6 makes the test logarithmic, except when 2mod6 gives two reduced values to check.
