COMMENTS

Also: a(1)=1, a(n)=maximal positive number <a(n-1) not encountered so far, if existing, else a(n)=2*a(n-1).

Also: a(1)=1, a(n)=a(n-1)-1, if a(n-1)-1>0 and has not been encountered so far, else a(n)=2*a(n-1).

A reordering of the natural numbers. The sequence is self-inverse in that a(a(n))=n.

Almost certainly a duplicate of A132340. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 12 2008

FORMULA

G.f.: g(x)=(x(1-2x)/(1-x)+2x^2*f'(x^3)+3/4*(f'(x)-2x-1))/(1-x) where f(x)=sum{k>=0, x^(2^k)} and f'(z)=derivative of f(x) at x=z.

a(n)=5*2^(r/2)-3-n, if both r and s are even, else a(n)=7*2^((s-1)/2)-3-n, where r=ceiling(2*log_2((n+2)/3)) and s=ceiling(2*log_2((n+2)/2)-1).

a(n)=2^floor(1+(k+1)/2)+3*2^floor(k/2)-3-n, where k=r, if r is even, else k=s (with respect to r and s above; formally, k=((r+s)+(r-s)*(-1)^r)/2).

a(n)=A027383(m)+A027383(m+1)+1-n, where m:=max{ k | A027383(k)<n }.

a(A027383(n)+1)=A027383(n+1).

a(A027383(n))=A027383(n-1)+1 for n>0.

MATHEMATICA

max = 72; f[x_] := Sum[x^(2^k), {k, 0, Ceiling[ Log[2, max]]}]; g[x_] = (x (1 - 2x)/(1 - x) + 2x^2*f'[x^3] + 3/4*(f'[x] - 2x - 1))/(1 - x); Drop[ CoefficientList[ Series[ g[x], {x, 0, max}], x], 1] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Dec 01 2011 *)

PROG

(Haskell)

import Data.List (delete)

a132666 n = a132666_list !! (n-1)

a132666_list = 1 : f 1 [2..] where

   f z xs  = y : f y (delete y xs) where

     y | head xs > z = 2 * z

       | otherwise   = z - 1
