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”).

%N A "Fractal Jump Sequence" (FJS) that reappears twice (itself and itself*2; see the Comments section).

%C Start on a(1) = 1 and underline it;

%C from there, jump over 1 term to the right; you land on a(3) = 2, which you underline;

%C from there, jump over 2 terms to the right; you'll land on a(6) = 2, which you underline;

%C from there, jump over 2 terms to the right; you'll land on a(9) = 4, which you underline;

%C from there, jump over 4 terms to the right; you'll land on a(14) = 4, which you underline;

%C from there, jump over 4 terms to the right; you'll land on a(19) = 2, which you underline; etc.

%C The underlined terms reproduce the starting sequence. The not underlined terms are the successive terms of the starting sequence multiplied by 2.

%Y Cf. A105496 (adding 1 instead of multiplying by 2 the non-underlined terms).
