a(0)=0; a(1)=0. For m>=1 : a(2*m) = 2*m-2-i, a(2*m+1) = 2*m-2-i, where i (0<=i<=n-2) is the smallest number such that a(2*m-2)-a(i)=0 AND a(2*m-1)-a(i+1)=0, or a(2*m)=0 AND a(2*m+1)=0 if no such i exists.

COMMENTS
This sequence is a transformation of A181391. A181391(n)=(A268584(2*n-1)+A268584(2*n)) / 4.
EXAMPLE
a(0)=0 ; a(1)=0.
a(2)=0 ; a(3)=0. By definition, because no such i exists.
a(4)=(2-0)=2 ; a(5)=(3-1)=2.
a(6)=0 ; a(7)=0. By definition, because no such i exists.
a(8)=(6-2)=4 ; a(9)=(7-3)=4.
a(10)=0 ; a(11)=0. By definition, because no such i exists.
and so on.
