- #N Orthogonal sawtooth with expansion factor 21
- #O Dean Hickerson, drhickerson@ucdavis.edu 4/10/91
- #C Population is unbounded but does not tend to infinity.
- #C Its graph is a sawtooth function with ever-increasing
- #C teeth. More specifically, the population in
- #C generation t = 18*21^n + 222 (n>=0), is
- #C 7t/60 + 1290, but the population in generation
- #C 6*21^n + 193 (n>=1) is only 1212. This uses a spark
- #C from a c/3 orthogonal spaceship ("turtle") to turn a
- #C HWSS into a loaf, which is then pulled back by pairs
- #C of LWSSs. When the loaf is pulled all the way back,
- #C another HWSS is fired toward the c/3, starting the
- #C cycle again. The HWSS synthesis, using 2 gliders, a
- #C Kok's galaxy, and a figure 8, is due to David
- #C Buckingham. This was the first sawtooth built.
