%N a(n) = 2*A004001(n) - n, where A004001 is the Hofstadter-Conway $10000 sequence.

%C The sequence is 0 at 2^n for n = 1, 2, 3, ... The maximum value between 2^n and 2^(n+1) appears to be A072100(n). - _T. D. Noe_, Jun 04 2012

%C Hofstadter shows the plot of sequence A004001(n)-(n/2) at point 10:52 of the part two of DIMACS lecture. This sequence is obtained by doubling those values, thus producing only integers. Cf. also A249071. - _Antti Karttunen_, Oct 22 2014
