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”).

A296689
Let phi be the one-to-one mapping between binary trees and natural numbers described in the Tychonievich link. Let a(n) = min({phi^{-1}(t)| size(t)=n}); i.e., a(n) is the rank -- starting from 0 -- of the first tree the size of which is n.

COMMENTS
Let v(n) = max({phi^{-1}(t)| size(t)=n}); v(n) is already known as A072639.
The interleaving process used by Tychonievich is not specific to base 2, each base b>=3 giving birth to a new a(n)-like sequence and a new v(n)-like sequence.
a(n) is the position of the first occurrence of n in A072644. - Andrey Zabolotskiy, Dec 20 2017
The tree-enumeration scheme of Tychonievich is similar, but not the same as "Recursive binary interleaving of binary trees" mentioned at my OEIS Wiki notes about Alternative Catalan Orderings. On the other hand, it seems to be the same (possibly up to the reflection of binary trees) as the ranking/unranking scheme mentioned in the section "Binary tree encoding with bijection" and in sequences A072634 - A072637 that are permutations of nonnegative integers induced by cross-ranking binary trees between such a "dense" binary interleaving ranking system and the standard lexicographic ordering of them (A014486). - Antti Karttunen, Dec 20 2017
