A265650 Removing the first occurrence of 1, 2, 3, ... reproduces the sequence itself. Each run of consecutive removed terms is separated from the next one by a term a(k) <= a(k-1) such that floor(sqrt(a(k))) equals the length of the run. 4

%N Removing the first occurrence of 1, 2, 3, ... reproduces the sequence itself. Each run of consecutive removed terms is separated from the next one by a term a(k) <= a(k-1) such that floor(sqrt(a(k))) equals the length of the run.

%C A fractal sequence : If one deletes the first occurrence of 1, 2, 3, ... the original sequence is reproduced.

%C Subsequent runs of consecutive terms which are these first occurrences are separated by a term whose square root yields the length of the preceding run (when rounded down).

%C Motivated by Project Euler problem 535, see LINKS.

%F The sequence contains marked numbers and non-marked numbers.

%F The marked numbers are consecutive starting with a(1)=1.

%F Immediately preceding each non-marked number in a(n), there are exactly floor(sqrt(a(n)) [= A000196(a(n))] adjacent marked numbers.

%e The runs of first occurrences of the positive integers are {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}, {7, 8}, {9}, {10, 11}, ... each separated from the next one by, respectively, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, ... where 4 and 5 follow the groups {7, 8} and {10, 11} of length 2 = sqrt(4) = floor(sqrt(5)). - _M.
