Ducci Sequences

These sequences date back (at least) to Enrico Ducci (1864-1940). Results about such sequences have been reformulated and reproved several times over the last century, so care must be taken so that history does not keep repeating itself.

My papers on this topic follow. The second paper has a good bibliography of papers up to 2003.
