NAME

Math::NumSeq::UlamSequence -- integers uniquely the sum of two previous terms

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

Ulam sequences are integers which are the sum of two previous terms in just one way. The default starting values are 1,2,

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 26, ...

For example 11 is in the sequence because it's the sum of two previous terms 3+8, and no other such sum. Whereas 12 is not in the sequence because there's two sums 4+8 and 1+11.

FUNCTIONS

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

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

$seq = Math::NumSeq::UlamSequence->new (start_values => '2,5')

Create and return a new sequence object.
