NAME

Math::NumSeq::WoodallNumbers -- Woodall numbers i*2^i-1

SYNOPSIS

 use Math::NumSeq::WoodallNumbers;
 my $seq = Math::NumSeq::WoodallNumbers->new;
 my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

The Woodall numbers i*2^i-1 starting from i=1,

    1, 7, 23, 63, 159, 383, 895, 2047, 4607, 10239, ...

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.

$seq = Math::NumSeq::WoodallNumbers->new ()

Create and return a new sequence object.

Iterating

$seq->seek_to_i($i)

Move the current sequence position to $i. The next call to next() will return $i and corresponding value.

Random Access

$value = $seq->ith($i)

Return $i * 2**$i - 1.

$bool = $seq->pred($value)

Return true if $value is a Woodall number, ie. is equal to i*2^i-1 for some i.

$i = $seq->value_to_i_floor($value)

Return the index i of $value or of the next Woodall number below $value.

$i = $seq->value_to_i_estimate($value)

Return an estimate of the i corresponding to $value.

FORMULAS

Value to i Estimate

An easy over-estimate is l=log2(value), which reverses value=2^l. It can be reduced by the bit length of that l as i=l-log2(l) to get closer.
