COMMENT

Maximal size of a subset S of {1, 2, ..., n} with the property that if x is in S then 2x is not.
Least k such that a(k)=n is equal to A003159(n).
To construct the sequence : let [a, b, c, a, a, a, b, c, a, b, c, ...] the fixed point of the morphism a -> abc, b ->a, c -> a, starting from a(1) = a, then write the indices of a, b, c that of a being written twice; see A092606 . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Apr 13 2004

FORMULA
|
Partial sums of A035263. Close to (2/3)*n.
a(1)=1, a(n)=n-a(floor(n/2)); a(n)=(2/3)*n+(1/3)*A065359(n); more generally, for m>=0, a(2^m*n)-2^m*a(n)=A001045(m)*A065359(n) where A001045(m)={2^m-(-1)^m}/3 is the Jacobsthal sequence; a(A039004(n))=(2/3)*A039004(n); a(2*A039004(n))=2*a(A039004(n)); a(A003159(n))=n; a(A003159(n)-1)=n-1; a(n)(mod 2)=A010060(n) the Thue-Morse sequence; a(n+1)-a(n)=A035263(n+1); a(n+2)-a(n) = abs(A029884(n)). - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 24, 2002
