COMMENT

The skip two term two fourth recusion of the Hofstadter Q.

The conjecture is that even higher order recursions of the term one and term two type for the original and skip term versions of A005185 Hofstadter Q will exist as well. I have invented this way of naming the larger generalization of Hofstadter Q type sequences as being descriptive of their formation.

MATHEMATICA

Hofstadter14[n_Integer?Positive] := Hofstadter14[n] = Hofstadter14[Abs[n - Hofstadter14[n-1]]] + Hofstadter14[Hofstadter14[ Hofstadter14[Abs[n - Hofstadter14[n-4]]]]] Hofstadter14[0] = Hofstadter14[1] = Hofstadter14[2]= Hofstadter14[3]= Hofstadter14[4]= 1 digits=200 ta=Table[Hofstadter14[n], {n, 1, digits}]
