Ulam Number

An Ulam number is a member of an integer sequence devised by and named after Stanislaw Ulam, who introduced it in 1964. The standard Ulam sequence (the (1, 2)-Ulam sequence) starts with U1 = 1 and U2 = 2. Then for n > 2, Un is defined to be the smallest integer that is the sum of two distinct earlier terms in exactly one way.

Famous quotes containing the word number:

    Black lady,
    what will I do
    without your two flowers?
    I have inhabited you, number by number.
    I have pushed you in and out like a needle.
