COMMENTS

Also defined by: a(n) = smallest positive number > a(n-1) such that the condition "n is in sequence if and only if a(n) is odd" is false (cf. A079000); that is, the condition "either n is not in the sequence and a(n) is odd or n is in the sequence and a(n) is even" is satisfied.

If prefixed with a(0) = 0, can be defined by: a(n) = smallest nonnegative number > a(n-1) such that the condition "n is in sequence only if a(n) is even" is satisfied.
