A365534 - OEIS

The OEIS is supported by the many generous donors to the OEIS Foundation.

Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS

A Boolean relation matrix R is convergent iff R^k = R^(k+1) for all sufficiently large k. In other words, iff the period of R is equal to 1. The digraph of R is such that all its maximal cyclic nets are primitive (A070322) iff R is convergent. Cf. Rosenblatt link. Also, R is convergent iff every diagonal block in its Frobenius normal form is either primitive or a 1 X 1 zero matrix, Theorem 1.1 in Gregory, Kirkland and Pullman.

FORMULA

Sum_{n>=0} a_n*x^n/(n!*2^binomial(n,2)) = 1/(E(x) @ exp(-(p(x)-1+x))) where E(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n/(n!*2^binomial(n,2)), p(x) = Sum_{n>=0} A070322(n)x^n/n! and @ is the exponential Hadamard product (see Panafieu and Dovgal).

A070322(n) <= a(n) <= 2^(n^2) = A002416(n).
