COMMENT

A generalization of Hofstadter's G-sequence.

Contribution from Daniel Platt (d.platt(AT)web.de), Jul 27 2009: (Start)

Conjecture: A recursively built tree structure can be obtained from the sequence:

.29.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.38.39.40.41.42.43.44.45..

..|..\./...|..|...\.|./...|..|...\.|./...|..\./...|..

.18..19...20.21....22....23.24....25....26..27...28..

..\...|.../...|.....\..../...|.....|.....\...|.../...

...\..|../....|......\../....|.....|......\..|../....

.....12......13.......14....15....16........17.......

......|........\......|...../......|.........|.......

......|..........\....|.../........|.........|.......

......8...............9...........10........11.......

......|.................\......./............|.......

......|...................\.../..............|.......

......5.....................6................7.......

.........\..................|............./..........

..............\.............|........../.............

....................\.......|....../.................

............................4........................

.........................../.........................

..........................3..........................

........................./...........................

........................2............................

......................./.............................

......................1..............................

When constructing the tree node n is connected to node a(n) below:

..n..

..|..

.a(n)

Same procedure as for A005206. Reading the nodes bottom-to-top, left-to-right provides the natural numbers. The tree has a recursive structure: The following construct will give - added on top of its own ends - the above tree:

.............. ... .

............./.../..

............/.../...

. ... .....X...X....

..\...\.../.../.....

...\...\./.../......

....X...X...X.......

.....\..|../........

......\.|./.........

........X...........
