Michel Marcus: but vecsum([3, 9, 27, 81, 243]) = 363 ?  should be 360 ??

07:30

Michel Marcus: yes my mistake, you said vecsum([9, 27, 81, 243])  = 360

07:41

Felix Huber: No problem, thanks for checking so precisely.

COMMENTS

The finite subsequence a(2), a(3), a(4), a(5) = 9, 27, 81, 243 is one of only two geometric sequences that can be formed with all interior angles (all integer, in degrees) of a simple polygon. The other sequence is a subsequence of A007283 (see comment there). - Felix Huber, Feb 15 2024

Felix Huber: I added a comment.
Reason for only two such geometric sequences: The partial sum of the geometric sequence 1, 2, ... is 2^n-1, the sum of the interior angles is (n - 2)*180. For n > 10, 2^n-1 > (n - 2)*180. Therefore, there is a finite number of such sequences and the search can be limited to 3 <= n <= 10. One finds only two such sequences for quadrilaterals.

COMMENTS

Number of matrices, of size 𝑛x2, with entries consisting only of 1s and 0s, where the rows are in decreasing/creasing order.- Beimar Naranjo, Feb 07 2024

Jon E. Schoenfield: But I could be mistaken. In any case, it definitely won’t be accepted without the necessary corrections.

Joerg Arndt: Painfully trivial: out of the four patterns 00, 01, 10, 11 one (either 01 or 10) is forbidden, so three are allowed, so 3^n.

Jon E. Schoenfield: There are problems here similar to the problems in your entry at A000302.
Also, although “creasing” is a word in English, it’s obviously not the word you wanted. Please correct it (here and at A000302).

03:27

Jon E. Schoenfield: The similar entry at A000302 was rejected. I would guess that this one will be, as well.
