Smallest examples of strings of consecutive happy numbers
A happy number N is defined by the condition S(N ) = 1 for some number n of iterations of the function S, where S(N ) is the sum of the squares of the digits of N . Up to 10, the longest known string of consecutive happy numbers was length five. We find the smallest string of consecutive happy numbers of length 6, 7, 8, . . . , 13. For instance, the smallest string of six consecutive happy numb...
متن کاملSequences of Generalized Happy Numbers with Small Bases
For bases b ≤ 5 and exponents e ≥ 2, there exist arbitrarily long finite sequences of d-consecutive e-power b-happy numbers for a specific d = d(e, b), which is shown to be minimal possible.
متن کاملOn the Density of Happy Numbers
The happy function H : N → N sends a positive integer to the sum of the squares of its digits. A number x is said to be happy if the sequence {Hn(x)}∞ n=1 eventually reaches 1 (here H(x) denotes the nth iteration of H on x). A basic open question regarding happy numbers is what bounds on the density can be proved. This paper uses probabilistic methods to reduce this problem to experimentally fi...
متن کاملPatient satisfaction following TKA: Bless them all!
Survivorship following modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is good with revision rates generally lower than for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our experience in Belfast supports that fact with original component survivorship of 99% for the low contact stress rotating platform TKA, which is better than our THA survivorship. It is important to discriminate between survivorship and patient satisfa...
متن کاملCycles and Fixed Points of Happy Functions
Let N = {1, 2, 3, · · · } denote the natural numbers. Given integers e ≥ 1 and b ≥ 2, let x = ∑n i=0 aib i with 0 ≤ ai ≤ b − 1 (thus ai are the digits of x in base b). We define the happy function Se,b : N −→ N by
