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”).

COMMENTS
For n > 1, a(n) gives the contents of the parent of the node which contains n in A267112-tree.
Each n > 0 occurs exactly twice, in positions A088359(n) and A087686(n+1).
The sequence maps each n > 1 to a number which is one digit shorter in binary system (cf. "Other identities"). This follows because A004001 is monotonic and A004001(2^n) = 2^(n-1) (see properties (2) and (3) given on page 227 of Kubo & Vakil paper, or page 3 in PDF), and also how the frequency counts Q_n for A004001 are recursively constructed (see Kubo & Vakil paper, p. 229 or A265332 for the illustration).
