COMMENT

More generally for fixed r, there is a nice connection between the sequence a(1)=1, a(n)=a(n-1)+1 if n is in the sequence, a(n)=a(n-1)+r+1 otherwise and the so-called metafibonacci sequences. Indeed, (a(n)-n)/r is a generalized metafibonacci sequence of order r as defined in Ruskey's recent paper (reference given at A046699). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 04 2007

FORMULA

a(n) = 2n + O(1); a(2^n)=2^(n+1) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Oct 12 2003

a(1)=1 then for n>=2 a(n)=a(n+1-2^floor(log(n)/log(2)))+2*2^floor(log(n)/log(2))-1 ; (a(n)-n)/2=A046699(n) for n>=2. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 04 2007

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<2, 1, a(n+1-2^floor(log(n)/log(2)))+2*2^floor(log(n)/log(2))-1) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 04 2007
