Ducci sequence : ウィキペディア英語版
Ducci sequence
A Ducci sequence is a sequence of ''n''-tuples of integers, sometimes known as "the Diffy game", because it is based on sequences.
Given an ''n''-tuple of integers (a_1,a_2,...,a_n), the next ''n''-tuple in the sequence is formed by taking the absolute differences of neighbouring integers:
:(a_1,a_2,...,a_n) \rightarrow (|a_1-a_2|, |a_2-a_3|, ..., |a_n-a_1|)\, .
Another way of describing this is as follows. Arrange ''n'' integers in a circle and make a new circle by taking the difference between neighbours, ignoring any minus signs; then repeat the operation. Ducci sequences are named after Enrico Ducci, the Italian mathematician credited with their discovery.
Ducci sequences are also known as the Ducci map or the n-number game. Open problems in the study of these maps still remain.
==Properties==
From the second ''n''-tuple onwards, it is clear that every integer in each ''n''-tuple in a Ducci sequence is greater than or equal to 0 and is less than or equal to the difference between the maximum and mimimum members of the first ''n''-tuple. As there are only a finite number of possible ''n''-tuples with these constraints, the sequence of n-tuples must sooner or later repeat itself. Every Ducci sequence therefore eventually becomes periodic.
If ''n'' is a power of 2 every Ducci sequence eventually reaches the ''n''-tuple (0,0,...,0) in a finite number of steps.〔


If ''n'' is ''not'' a power of two, a Ducci sequence will either eventually reach an ''n''-tuple of zeros or will settle into a periodic loop of 'binary' ''n''-tuples; that is, ''n''-tuples which contain only two different digits.
An obvious generalisation of Ducci sequences is to allow the members of the ''n''-tuples to be any real numbers rather than just integers. The properties presented here do not always hold for these generalisations. For example, a Ducci sequence starting with the ''n''-tuple (1, ''q'', ''q''2, ''q''3) where ''q'' is the (irrational) positive root of the cubic x^3 - x^2 - x - 1 = 0 does not reach (0,0,0,0) in a finite number of steps, although in the limit it converges to (0,0,0,0).〔
