Formula

a(1)=0, a(n) = (69069*a(n-1)+1) mod 2^32. The sequence is periodic with period length 2^32. [Corrected based on a comment from Kevin Ryde, Nov 13 2024]

Maple

a:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<2, 0,
      irem(69069 *a(n-1)+1, 4294967296))
    end:
seq(a(n), n=1..30);  # Alois P. Heinz, Jun 10 2014
