Suppose S = (s(0),s(1),s(2),...) is an infinite sequence such that every finite block of consecutive terms occurs infinitely many times in S. (It is assumed that A006337 is such a sequence.) Let B = B(m,k) = (s(m-k),s(m-k+1),...,s(m)) be such a block, where m >= 0 and k >= 0. Let m(1) be the least i > m such that (s(i-k),s(i-k+1),...,s(i)) = B(m,k), and put B(m(1),k+1) = (s(m(1)-k-1),s(m(1)-k),...,s(m(1))). Let m(2) be the least i > m(1) such that (s(i-k-1),s(i-k),...,s(i)) = B(m(1),k+1), and put B(m(2),k+2) = (s(m(2)-k-2),s(m(2)-k-1),...,s(m(2))). Continuing in this manner gives a sequence of blocks B(m(n),k+n). Let B'(n) = reverse(B(m(n),k+n)), so that for n >= 1, B'(n) comes from B'(n-1) by suffixing a single term; thus the limit of B'(n) is defined; we call it the "limit-reverse of S with initial block B(m,k)", denoted by S*(m,k), or simply S*. (Since A000002 has offset 1, the above definition is adapted accordingly, so that s(n) = A000002(n+1) for n >= 0.)
...
The sequence (m(i)), where m(0) = 1, is the "index sequence for limit-reversing S with initial block B(m,k)" or simply the index sequence for S*, as in A245937.
EXAMPLE
S = A000002 (re-indexed to start with s(0) = 1, with B = (s(0)); that is, (m,k) = (0,0); S = (1,2,2,1,1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,1,2,1,1,...)
B'(0) = (1)
B'(1) = (1,2)
B'(2) = (1,2,1)
B'(3) = (1,2,1,1)
B'(4) = (1,2,1,1,2)
B'(5) = (1,2,1,1,2,2)
S* = (1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1,...),
with index sequence (1, 4, 7, 16, 25, 31, 43, 61, 70, 88, 97, 115,...)
