%N a(n) is the Y-coordinate of the n-th point of the space filling curve P defined in Comments section; sequence A334576 gives X-coordinates.

%C The space filling curve P corresponds to the midpoint curve of the alternate paperfolding curve and can be built as follows:

%C - we define the family {P_k, k > 0}:

%C - P_1 corresponds to the points (0, 0), (1, 0), (2, 0) and (2, 1), in that order:

%C +

%C |

%C |

%C +----+----+

%C O

%C - for any k > 0, P_{n+1} is built from four copies of P_n as follows:

%C +

%C |A

%C + |

%C C| +----+ |

%C A B| ---> |C B| |B C

%C +-------+ + | +----+-+

%C O C| | C|

%C A B| A| A B|

%C +-------+ +-+-------+

%C O

%C - the space filling curve P is the limit of P_k as k tends to infinity.

%C We can also describe the space filling curve P by mean of an L-system (see Links section).

%F a(n+1) = (A020990(n) + A020990(n+1) - 1)/2 for any n >= 0.

%e The first points of the space filling curve P are as follows:

%e 6| 20...21

%e | | |

%e 5| 19 22

%e | | |

%e 4| 16...17...18 23

%e | | |

%e 1| 3 6 13...12...11 30

%e ---+----------------------------------------

%e y/x| 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

%e - hence a(15) = a(24) = a(25) = a(26) = 3.
