Historical Note on Pair of Ulam Numbers differing by One
According to David Wells in his Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. of $1997$, the Ulam numbers were investigated up to $20 \, 000$ terms by a P. Muller, whom this contributor has not been able to identify.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of pairs of Ulam numbers which differ by $1$, more than $60\%$ of pairs differ by $2$.
