Abstract:
This paper surveys various kinds of ordered sets, with numerous citations
to sequences in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. These
ordered sets include self-containing sequences, infinitive sequences,
fractal sequences, and parasequences (which are introduced here as a
certain type of doubly infinite sequence). Relationships among these
are presented, and among more than thirty examples, the Cantor fractal
sequence and the Farey fractal sequence are presented. There are several
conjectures involving parasequences.
