COMMENTS
The binary Gray code induces a permutation of the nonnegative numbers. The sequence lists the minimum of each cycle. The sequence is strictly increasing but the corresponding list of maxima (A175339) is not.

EXAMPLE
The first two cycles are the (fixed points) 0 and 1 (==> a(0) and a(1)). The third cycle is (the 2-cycle) (3,4), its minimum is 3 so a(2)=3, its maximum is 4 so A175339(2)=4. The 5th cycle is ( 8, 15, 10, 12 ) its minimum is 8 so a(4)=8, its maximum is 15 so A175339(4)=15.
