A proportion (odd digits vs all digits)


Obviously (and unfortunately) no one has been interested in this two week-old message on SeqFan:

We want a(n)/a(n+1) to represent a proportion where:
--> a(n) is the number of odd digits used in the seq up to a(n) -- a(n) included;
--> a(n+1) is the total number of digits used so far.

S = 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 19, 31, 49, 61, 72, 83, 94, 105, 116, 132, 200, ...

I think that this is true for the first 7 proportions here, but I am 100% sure that from a(7) on this is lexico-wrong (perhaps even earlier :-(

Let's see:
1/2 means that there is 1 odd digit in the first 2 digits of S 
      [true: they are respectively (1) and (1,2)]
2/3 means that there are 2 odd digits in the first 3 digits of S 
      [true: they are respectively (1,3) and (1,2,3)]
3/5 means that there are 3 odd digits in the first 5 digits of S 
    [true: they are respectively (1,3,5) and (1,2,3,5,8)]
5/8 means that there are 5 odd digits in the first 8 digits of S 
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,2,1)]
8/12 means that there are 8 odd digits in the first 12 digits of S 
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1,9,3,1) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,2,1,9,3,1,4)]
12/19 means that there are 8 odd digits in the first 12 digits of S
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1,9,3,1,9,1,7,3) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,2,1,9,3,1,4,9,6,1,7,2,8,3)]
19/31 means that there are 19 odd digits in the first 31 digits of S 
[true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1,9,3,1,9,1,7,3,9,1,5,1,1,1,3) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,2,1,9,3,1,4,9,6,1,7,2,8,3,9,4,1,0,5,1,1,6,1,3,2,2)
etc.
Could someone compute S, if this is of interest?

I think the hereunder new S beats the example above:

Sn = 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 62, 80, 201, 311, 331, 351, 371, 391, 511, 531, 551, 571, 590, 711, 731, 751, 761, 771, 781, 791, 801, 812, 822, 832, 842, 852, 862, 872, 882, 892, 902, 912, 922, 932, 942, 952, 962, 972, 982, 992, 1002, ...
Let's see now:
1/2 means that there is 1 odd digit in the first 2 digits of S 
      [true: they are respectively (1) and (1,2)]
2/3 means that there are 2 odd digits in the first 3 digits of S 
      [true: they are respectively (1,3) and (1,2,3)]
3/5 means that there are 3 odd digits in the first 5 digits of S 
    [true: they are respectively (1,3,5) and (1,2,3,5,8)]
5/8 means that there are 5 odd digits in the first 8 digits of S 
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,2,1)]
8/11 means that there are 8 odd digits in the first 11 digits of S 
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1,1,3,1) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,1,2,1,3,1)]
11/21 means that there are 11 odd digits in the first 21 digits of S 
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1,1,3,1,1,5,1) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,1,2,1,3,1,4,1,5,1,6,2,8,0,2,0)]
21/31 means that there are 21 odd digits in the first 31 digits of S 
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1,1,3,1,1,5,1,1,3,1,1,3,3,1,3,5,1) and (1,2,3,5,8,1,1,2,1,3,1,4,1,5,1,6,2,8,0,2,0,1,3,1,1,3,3,1,3,5,1)]
31/41 means that there are 31 odd digits in the first 41 digits of S
     [true: they are respectively (1,3,5,1,1,1,3,1,1,5,1,1,3,1,1,3,3,1,3,5,1,3,7,1,3,9,1,5,1,1,5and (1,2,3,5,8,1,1,2,1,3,1,4,1,5,1,6,2,8,0,2,0,1,3,1,1,3,3,1,3,5,1,3,7,1,3,9,1,5,1,1,5)]; etc.

  1. I agree up to 201 but then my program suggests 331, 511, 711, ...(jumps of 200)..., 2111, 3111, 4111, 5111, 6111, 7200 ...(some fancy values)... 20000, 26000, 40000, 60000, 80000, 200000, 400000, 600000, 800000... I think 311 can't be right because one has a(n+1) >= 2 a(n) - a(n-1) (we had exactly a(n-1) odd digits among the first a(n) digits, and now we need a(n) odd digits among the a(n+1) first digits, so we have to add at least a(n)-a(n-1) more odd digits *after* the a(n)-th digit). This gives here a(14) >= 2*201 - 80 = 322.
