[edit] Adeyemi series

Adeyemi series (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Possible original research. No clear references showing that this series is well-known under this name in the mathematical community. Two references are given - one is a vague mention of "Mathematics: Theory and Fun", the other is a link (maybe a typo?) to an unrelated webpage. No relevant Google results for "Adeyemi series" or Adeyemi "recurrence relation". (Note: PROD was removed by author, who then added the two references.) FreplySpang 02:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

  • delete Appears to be WP:OR. Problems with WP:RS. --- Taroaldo (talk) 04:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Someone has discovered the not-very-exciting fact that 13 × 7 × (10^n - 1) / 9 = 10^(n+1) - 10^n - 10. It makes pretty patterns in decimal notation but is otherwise pointless. It's not even in OEIS. And it's misnamed (should be sequence not series). The only reference I can find is an (unreliable) forum posting a month ago (not involving anyone named Adeyemi). I tried looking at "Integers with digits 0 and 1" by D. H. Lehmer et al. but that doesn't even mention this example. Delete as original research. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:10, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete there are references for the existence of the series, but that does not make it notable, also there is no evidence that it has a name. --Snigbrook (talk) 14:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, per nominator and David Eppstein. I am a bit surprised though that this gets so little attention in 13 (number). Jitse Niesen (talk) 14:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
