(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A079253 a(n) is taken to be the smallest positive integer greater than a(n-1) which is consistent with the condition "n is a member of the sequence if and only if a(n) is even". 9

FORMULA

For a formula for a(n) see A079000.

a(a(n)) = 2n+4 for n >= 1.

EXAMPLE

a(1) cannot be 1 because that would imply that the first term is even; it cannot be 2 because then the first term would be even despite 1's not being in the sequence; therefore a(1)=3, which creates no contradictions and the third term is the first even term of the sequence.

CROSSREFS

Equals A079000 - 1.
