%N Odd "odious" numbers (A000069).

%C In other words, numbers having a binary representation ending in 1, and an odd number of 1's overall. It follows that by decrementing an odd odious number, one gets an even evil number (A125592). - _Ralf Stephan_, Aug 27 2013

%C The members of the sequence may be called primitive odious numbers because every odious number is a power of 2 times one of these numbers. Note that the difference between consecutive terms is either 2, 4, or 6. - _T. D. Noe_, Jun 06 2007

%C From _Gary W. Adamson_, Apr 06 2010: (Start)

%C a(n) = A026147(n)-th odd number, where A026147 = (1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, ...); e.g.,

%C n: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

%C n-th odd: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21

%C a(n): 1 7 11 13 19 21

%C etc. (End)

%C Numbers m, such that when merge-sorting lists of length m, the maximal number of comparisons is even: A003071(a(n)) = A230720(n). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 28 2013

%C Fixed points of permutation pair A268717/A268718. - _Antti Karttunen_, Feb 29 2016
