A101210 Charlie Chaplin numbers: Stage 1: the input is the sequence F(n) = 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,... of alternating 1's and 2s, starting with F(1)=1. Let m = 1. At each iteration take F(m) and add it to F(m+F(m)) then increment m by 1 and repeat. The numbers are the values of F(m) which are larger than all previous values. 2
1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 23, 33, 37, 39, 68, 73, 76, 79, 85, 90, 97, 117, 157, 160, 180, 252, 253, 368, 376, 378, 381, 421, 429, 534, 644, 652, 657, 742, 743, 746, 839, 890, 1026, 1329, 1344, 1345, 1523, 1526, 1545, 1546, 1547, 1550, 1562 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)

COMMENTS
Charlie Chaplin numbers are inspired by his comedy routine working on a conveyor belt. Which input functions give chaotic outputs? How does the output sequence grow?
Comment from David Wasserman, Mar 11 2008: The sequence gives the record values of the system output. The record values that occur while computing the system output are given in A116587.
