COMMENTS
Sequence has itself and its partial sums as bisections.
Setting m=1 gives Stern-Brocot sequence (A002487).
Conjecture: a(n) mod 2 repeats the 7-pattern 1,1,0,1,0,0,1 (A011657).
The conjecture is easily proved by induction: a(0) to a(14) = 1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 2, 5, 1, 9, 4, 11, 2, 16, 5 read mod 2 gives 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1. Assume the conjecture is true up to n = 14k. Then the next 7 odd entries a(14k+1), a(14k+3), ..., a(14k+13) are read from a(7k) to a(7k+6), which follow the correct mod 2 pattern by assumption. For the even entries a(14k), a(14k+10)... a(14k+12), the sum over the first 7k-1 addends is even, simply because of each consecutive 7 addends exactly 4 are odd. So again a(7k) to a(7k+6) determines the outcome and again gives the desired pattern. a(14k) is odd, since a(7k) is odd, a(14k+2) is even, since a(7k) and a(7k+1) are odd and so on ... - Lambert Herrgesell (zero815(AT)googlemail.com), May 08 2007
