FORMULA

Essentially same as Kolakoski sequence A000002.

EXAMPLE

Start with [ 1,2 ]. a(1)=1, so the second run has length 1, so a(3) must be 1. a(2)=2, so the third run has length 2, so a(4) must also be 1 and a(5) must be 2. a(3)=1, so the 4th run has length 1, so a(6) must be 1; etc. (From Labos E.)

PROG

(PARI) a=[ 1, 2 ]; for(n=2, 80, for(i=1, a[ n ], a=concat(a, 1+(n%2)))); a

CROSSREFS
