%N First differences of A187220.

%C Number of gulls (or G-toothpicks) added at n-th stage to the gullwing structure of A187220.

%C Apparently this is the connection between A147582 and A139251. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 11 2011

%F a(0)=0. a(1)=1. It appears that a(n) = 2*A139251(n-1), for n >= 2.

%e If written as an irregular triangle begins:

%e 0,

%e 1,

%e 2,

%e 4,

%e 8,8,

%e ...

%e Also there is another version in which the layout of the irregular triangle was adjusted to reveal that the columns become constant:

%e .0,

%e .1,

%e .2,

%e .4,8,
