A118874 A halting sequence: let f_n be the n-th recursive function, relative to the Godel numbering given in Cutland, then a(n) is f_n(n)+1 if the corresponding program halts on input n, 0 otherwise.

Example

Using Cutland's Godel numbering, 80 corresponds to the URM program "Z(1) J(1,1,1) S(1)", which clearly loops forever on any input, so a(80)=0. On the other hand, 17 corresponds to the URM program "S(1) T(1,1)", which, on input 17, produces 18. So a(17)=18+1=19.
