Weight–level plate of Brilliant numbers: semiprimes (products of two primes, A001358) whose prime factors have the same number of decimal digits
Click the plate to explore it in 3-D. Weight k across, level L up, both on log scales: blue in the weight class (k ≤ L), orange in the level class (k > L). The dashed diagonal is k = L.

The decomposition

Every term of a strictly increasing sequence is written a(n) = k(n)·L(n) + d(n): the jump d = a(n+1) − a(n), the weight k the least divisor of a − d greater than d, the level L = (a − d)/k. A term decomposes when a > 2d; it is in the level class when k > L and in the weight class when k ≤ L. See decompwlj.com and arXiv:0711.0865, or how it works, with worked examples and a live one.
