Comments

See A245549 for binary equivalents. See A070952 for number of ON cells. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 28 2014

For n > 0: 3 < a(n+1) / a(n) < 5, floor(a(n+1)/a(n)) = A010702(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 08 2013

Iterates of A269160 starting from a(0) = 1. See also A269168. - Antti Karttunen, Feb 20 2016

Formula

From Antti Karttunen, Feb 20 2016: (Start)

a(0) = 1, for n >= 1, a(n) = A269160(a(n-1)).

a(n) = A030101(A265281(n)). [The rule 30 is the mirror image of the rule 86.]

A269166(a(n)) = n for all n >= 0. (End)

From Antti Karttunen, Oct 05 2019: (Start)

For n >= 1, a(n) = a(n-1) XOR 2*A328104(n-1).

For n >= 1, a(n) = 2*a(n-1) XOR A327973(n). (End)

Example

a(1)=1 because the automaton begins at first "generation" with one black cell: 1;
a(2)=5 because one black cell, through Rule 30 at 2nd generation, produces three contiguous black cells: 111 (binary), so 7 (decimal);
a(3)=25 because the third generation is "black black white white black" cells: 11001, so 25 (decimal).

Mathematica
