Problem 319
Published on Saturday, 8th January 2011, 07:00 pm; Solved by 261Let x1, x2,..., xn be a sequence of length n such that:
- x1 = 2
- for all 1
i
n : xi-1
xi - for all i and j with 1
i, j
n : (xi) j
(xj + 1)i
There are only five such sequences of length 2, namely:
{2,4}, {2,5}, {2,6}, {2,7} and {2,8}.
There are 293 such sequences of length 5; three examples are given below:
{2,5,11,25,55}, {2,6,14,36,88}, {2,8,22,64,181}.
Let t(n) denote the number of such sequences of length n.
You are given that t(10) = 86195 and t(20) = 5227991891.
Find t(1010) and give your answer modulo 109.
