A322510 a(1) = 0, and for any n > 0, a(2*n) = a(n) + k(n) and a(2*n+1) = a(n) - k(n) where k(n) is the least positive integer not leading to a duplicate term in sequence a. 5

%C The point is that the same k(n) must be used for both a(2*n) and a(2*n+1). - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Dec 17 2019

%C Apparently every signed integer appears in the sequence.

%F a(n) = (a(2*n) + a(2*n+1))/2.

%e The first terms, alongside k(n) and associate children, are:

%e n a(n) k(n) a(2*n) a(2*n+1)
