NAME

6       Math::NumSeq::MephistoWaltz -- Mephisto waltz sequence
7

SYNOPSIS

9        use Math::NumSeq::MephistoWaltz;
10        my $seq = Math::NumSeq::MephistoWaltz->new;
11        my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
12

DESCRIPTION

14       This sequence is the Mephisto waltz, being the count mod 2 of ternary
15       digit 2s in i.
16
17           0,0,1, 0,0,1, 1,1,0, ...            (A064990)
18           starting i=0
19
20       i=0 has no 2s so value=0, and likewise i=1 value=0.  Then i=2 has one 2
21       so value=1.
22
23       The sequence can also be expressed as a morphism starting from single
24       term 0 and repeatedly expanding
25
26           0 -> 0,0,1
27           1 -> 1,1,0
28
29       So
30
31           0
32           0,0,1
33           0,0,1, 0,0,1, 1,1,0,
34           0,0,1, 0,0,1, 1,1,0, 0,0,1, 0,0,1, 1,1,0, 1,1,0, 1,1,0, 0,0,1
35
36           |   original      |  |     copy        |  |  0<->1 flipped  |
37           +-----------------+  +-----------------+  +-----------------+
38
39       The effect of the expansion is keep the first third the same, append a
40       copy of it, and append an 0<->1 flipped copy of it .
41

FUNCTIONS

43       See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence
44       classes.
45
46       "$seq = Math::NumSeq::MephistoWaltz->new ()"
47           Create and return a new sequence object.
48
49   Random Access
50       "$value = $seq->ith($i)"
51           Return the $i'th MephistoWaltz value, being the count mod 2 of the
52           ternary digit 2s in $i.
53
54       "$bool = $seq->pred($value)"
55           Return true if $value occurs in the sequence, which simply means 0
56           or 1.
57

FORMULAS

59       The calculation can also be made in a power-of-3 base like 9, 27, 81,
60       etc instead of just 3.  For example in base 9 digits 2, 5, 6, 7 have a
61       one (mod 2) ternary 2.  These base 9 digits correspond to the 1s in the
62       initial sequence 0,0,1, 0,0,1, 1,1,0 shown above.
