%C From _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 20 2019: (Start)

%C The sequence A285326/2 is characterized by a(2n) = 2*a(n) (n >= 0) and a(2n-1) = n (n >= 1). This implies the property defining this sequence: If n = 2k, then n - a(n-1) = 2k - a(2k-1) = 2k - k = k, so a(n - a(n-1)) + a(floor(n/2)) = a(k) + a(k) = 2*a(k) = a(2k) = a(n). If n = 2k-1, then n - a(n-1) = 2k-1 - a(2k-2) = 2k-1 - 2*a(k-1), whence a(n - a(n-1)) + a(floor(n/2)) = a(2(k - a(k-1)) - 1) + a(k-1) = k - a(k-1) + a(k-1) = k = a(2k-1) = a(n). Thus, A285326/2 satisfies the definition of this sequence.

%C The sequence is equal to itself multiplied by 2 and interleaved with the positive integers. (This is equivalent to the above characterization.)

%C The sequence repeats the pattern [A, B, C, C] where in the n-th occurrence C = 2n, B = C - 1, A = C if n is even, A = C + 2 if n == 3 (mod 4), and A = 16*a((n-1)/4) otherwise. This yields a simpler formula for all terms except for indices which are multiples of 16. (End)
