COMMENTS
The sequences represent the ordinance of vectors of the n-dimensional Boolean cube (hypercube) {0,1}^n in accordance with their (Hamming) weights. The lexicographic order is chosen as a second criterion for the ordinance of the vectors of equal weights. We refer to this order as a Weight-Lexicographic Order (WLO). The WLO is represented by the (serial) numbers of the vectors, instead of the vectors itself. It is well known that if the vectors of {0,1}^n are in lexicographic (standard) order, their numbers form the sequence of natural numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., 2^n-1. So, the WLO means a permutation of the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., 2^n-1, such that the corresponding vectors are in WLO. This sequence (permutation) is denoted by L(n). It consists of (n+1) subsequences, corresponding to the layers of the Boolean cube.

FORMULA
For n=1, 2, 3, ..., L(n) is defined by the recurrence:
if n=1, L(1)= 0, 1;
else L(n)= l(n, 0), l(n, 1), ..., l(n, k), ..., l(n, n), where the subsequences are defined as follows:
l(n, k)= 0, if k=0, else
l(n, k)= 2^n - 1, if k=n, else
l(n, k)= l(n-1, k), l(n-1, k-1) + 2^{n-1}, for 0 < k < n.
Comments:
1) l(n, k)= l(n-1, k}, l(n-1, k-1) + 2^{n-1} means that l(n, k) is a concatenation of two subsequences: l(n-1, k) and l(n-1, k-1) + 2^{n-1}. The second one is obtained after addition of the number 2^{n-1} to each member of l(n-1,k-1).
2) The computing of the members of L(n) resembles the computing (and filling in) the binomial coefficients in Pascal's triangle. The binomial coefficients determine the lengths of the subsequences l(n, k), 0 <= k <= n, in L(n). Thus the beginning of each subsequence can be computed easily.
3) The inductive formula, corresponding to the recurrence, is much more useful for implementations.
EXAMPLE
The lexicographic order of {0,1}^3 is: (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (0,1,0), (0,1,1), (1,0,0), (1,0,1), (1,1,0), (1,1,1), and the corresponding sequence of (serial) numbers is: 0, 1, 2, ..., 7. The WLO of these vectors is given by the sequence L(3)= 0, 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 7.
The triangle starts:
n=1: 0, 1;
n=2: 0, 1, 2, 3;
n=3: 0, 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 7;
n=4: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15;
n=5: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 17, 18, 20, 24, 7, 11, 13, 14, 19, 21, 22, 25, 26, 28, 15, 23, 27, 29, 30, 31;
n=6: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 17, 18, 20, 24, 33, 34, 36, 40, 48, 7, 11, 13, 14, 19, 21, 22, 25, 26, 28, 35, 37, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49, 50, 52, 56, 15, 23, 27, 29, 30, 39, 43, 45, 46, 51, 53, 54, 57, 58, 60, 31, 47, 55, 59, 61, 62, 63;
