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.
