If n doesn't occur among the first (n-1) terms of the sequence, then a(n) = 2n. If n occurs among the first (n-1) terms of the sequence, then a(n) = n/2.

COMMENTS
| Sequence is a permutation of the positive integers. It also is its own inverse (i.e. a(a(n)) = n).
Contribution from Carl R. White (oeisfan(AT)phodd.net), Aug 23 2010: (Start)
Powers of two with even exponent exchange places with the next lowest power of two with odd exponent and vice versa, i.e. 4 swaps with 2, 256 with 128, etc.
For other numbers where n > 1, the even component (the power of two in n's prime factorisation) is exchanged the opposite way: A power of two with _odd_ component is exchanged for the next lowest (even exponent) power of two and vice versa. (End)

FORMULA
| Contribution from Carl R. White (oeisfan(AT)phodd.net), Aug 23 2010: (Start)
a(1) = 1
a(2^m) = 2^(m-(-1)^m), m > 0
a(k*2^m) = k*2^(m+(-1)^m), m > 0, odd k > 1 (End)

EXAMPLE
