Some Curious Sequences Involving Floor and Ceiling Functions
The author gives an explicit form the \(m\)th term in the sequences of the type: (1) given an arbitrary sequence \(\{a_n\}\) and a positive integer \(d\), define the \(b_m\) to be the \(m\)th term of the sequence built as follows: \(\underbrace{a_1,\dots,a_1}_{d\text{ terms}},\underbrace{a_2,\dots,a_2}_{2d\text{ terms}},\underbrace{a_3,\dots,a_3}_{3d\text{ terms}},\dots\); (2) the sequence \(\{b_m\}\) is formed by deleting from \(\{a_n\}\) all terms having a subscript that is a perfect \(k\)th power; (3) \(\{b_m\}\) is formed by a recurrence relation involving a floor function.
