Abstract.An array A = (a,;) of all the positive integers is an interspersion if the terms of any two rows, from some point on, alternate in size, and a dispersion if, for a suitable sequence (s"), the recurrence a, = sa,_, holds for each entry aj of each row of A , for j > 2 . An array is proved here to be an interspersion if and only if it is a dispersion. Such arrays whose rows satisfy certain recurrences are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
