COMMENTS

Indices of records are given by A087192: a(A087192(n))=n, where A087192(n) = ceiling(A087192(n-1)*4/3).

To construct the sequence: Step 1: start from a sequence of 1 and leave 3 undefined places between two 1 giving: 1,(),(),(),1,(),(),(),1,(),(),(),1,(),(),(),1,(),(),(),1,... Step 2: replace the first undefined place with a 2 and leave 3 undefined places between two 2 giving: 1,2,(),(),1,(),2,(),1,(),(),2,1,(),(),(),1,2,(),(),1,... Step 3: replace the first undefined place with a 3 and leave 3 undefined places between two 3 giving: 1,2,3,(),1,(),2,(),1,3,(),2,1,(),(),3,1,2,(),(),1,... Step 4: replace the first undefined place with a 4 and leave 3 undefined places between two 4 giving: 1,2,3,4,1,(),2,(),1,3,(),2,1,4,(),3,1,2,(),(),1,... Iterating the process indefinitely yields the sequence: 1,2,3,4,1,5,2,6,1,3,7,2,1,4,8,3,1,2,5,9,1,... [From Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 07 2009]
