A093848 (a(n)) is the earliest monotonic sequence starting with a(1)=1 and satisfying a(n)=length of n-th run of consecutive integers with same parity. 7

%S 1,2,4,5,7,9,11,12,14,16,18,20,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,34,36,38,40,42,44,

%N (a(n)) is the earliest monotonic sequence starting with a(1)=1 and satisfying a(n)=length of n-th run of consecutive integers with same parity.

%C There are a(1) odd terms, a(2) even terms, a(3) odd terms, a(4) even terms ... - _Benoit Cloitre_, May 26 2004

%C A variation on Golomb's sequence A001462.

%H T. D. Noe, <a href="/A093848/b093848.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n=1..1000</a>

%F it seems that a(n) = 2n - a*n^b + o(n^b) where a and b are 2 suitable constants. b=0.4.... Does b=2-phi where phi is the golden ratio?

%e Sequence begins: (1),(2,4),(5,7,9,11),(12,14,16,18,20),(21,.... since the number of elements in each run of odd or even integers is 1, 2, 4, 5, ... the sequence itself.
