COMMENT
|
Also: a(1)=1, a(n)=maximal positive number <a(n-1) not encountered so far, if existing, else a(n)=8*a(n-1).
Also: a(1)=1, a(n)=a(n-1)-1, if a(n-1)-1>0 and has not been encountered so far, else a(n)=8*a(n-1).
A reordering of the natural numbers. The sequence is self-inverse, in that a(a(n))=n.

FORMULA
|
G.f.: g(x)=(x(1-2x)/(1-x)+8x^2*f'(x^(15/7))+(15/64)*(f'(x^(1/7))-8x-1)/(1-x) where f(x)=sum{k>=0, x^(8^k)} and f'(z)=derivative of f(x) at x=z.
a(n)=(23*8^(r/2)-9)/7-n if both, r and s are even, else a(n)=(78*8^((s-1)/2)-9)/7-n, where r=ceiling(2*log_8((7n+8)/15)) and s=ceiling(2*log_8(7n+8)/7))-1.
a(n)=(8^floor(1+(k+1)/2)+15*8^floor(k/2)-9)/7-n, where k=r if r is odd, else k=s (with respect to r and s above; formally, k=((r+s)-(r-s)*(-1)^r)/2).
