COMMENTS

The n-th row differs from the prior row only by the presence of n. See A088371 for the positions in the n-th row that n is inserted.

Comment from Clark Kimberling, Aug 02 2007: (Start)

At A131966, this sequence is cited as the fractal sequence of the Cantor set C.

Recall that C is the set of fractions in [0,1] whose base 3 representation consists solely of 0s and 2s.

Arrange these fractions as follows:

0

0, .2

0, .02, .2

0, .02, .2, .22

0, .002, .02, .2, .22, etc.

Replace each number x by its order of appearance, counting each distinct predecessor of x only once, getting

1;

1, 2;

1, 3, 2;

1, 3, 2, 4;

1, 5, 3, 2, 4;

Concatenate these to get the current sequence, which is a fractal sequence as defined in "Fractal sequences and interspersions".

One property of such a sequence is that it properly contains itself as a subsequence (infinitely many times). (End)

FORMULA

T(n,n) = 2^(floor(log(n)/log(2))). Construction. The 2n-th row is the concatenation of row n, after multiplying each term by 2 and subtracting 1, with row n, after multiplying each term by 2. The (2n-1)-th row is the concatenation of row n, after multiplying each term by 2 and subtracting 1, with row n-1, after multiplying each term by 2.

EXAMPLE

Row 5 is formed from row 3, {1,3,2} and row 2, {1,2}: {1,5,3,2,4} = {1*2-1,3*2-1,2*2-1}|{1*2,2*2}.

Rows are: {1}, {1, 2}, {1, 3, 2}, {1, 3, 2, 4}, {1, 5, 3, 2, 4}, {1, 5, 3, 2, 6, 4}, {1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4}, ...

MAPLE

T:= proc(n) option remember;

      `if` (n=1, 1, [map(x-> 2*x-1, [T(n-iquo(n, 2))])[],

                     map(x-> 2*x,   [T(  iquo(n, 2))])[]][])

    end:
