Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A175326
A positive integer n is included if the run-lengths (of runs both of 0's and of 1's) of the binary representation of n form an arithmetic progression (when written in order).

COMMENTS
The difference between the lengths of consecutive runs in binary n may be either positive, 0, or negative.
This sequence provides a way to order all of the finite sequences each of positive integers arranged in an arithmetic progression (with common difference between consecutive integers being either positive, zero, or negative). See A175327.
EXAMPLE
57 in binary is 111001. The run lengths are therefore 3,2,1, and (3,2,1) forms an arithmetic progression; so 57 is in this sequence.
