COMMENT

Invented by Miles Okazaki, who said: I was trying to write a composition that has the same melody going at several different speeds. If this sequence is mapped onto musical notes and you play every other term, you get the original sequence at half speed. If you play every third term, you again get the same melody. And every 4th term, 6th term, 8th term, 12-th term, etc. yields the same result. The pattern generates itself, adding two new increasing integers every six terms.

The formula in the definition encapsulates this verbal description - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com).

For k>1: a(A007310(k-1))=k and a(m)<k for m<A007310(k-1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Jun 16 2008
