COMMENTS
This sequence is the ruler sequence A007814 interleaved with this sequence; specifically, the odd bisection is A007814, the even bisection is the sequence itself.
The 3-adic valuation of the Doudna sequence (A005940).
The 2-adic valuation of Kimberling's paraphrases (A003602).
FORMULA
a(2*n) = a(n).
a(2*n+1) = A007814(n+1).
a(n) = A007949(A005940(n)).
a(n) = A007814(A003602(n)) = A007814((A000265(n)+1) / 2) = A089309(n) - 1.
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = 1. - Amiram Eldar, Sep 13 2024
