For a background discussion of dispersions, see A191426.
...
Each of the sequences (4n, n>2), (4n+1, n>0), (3n+2, n>=0), generates a dispersion. Each complement (beginning with its first term >1) also generates a dispersion. The six sequences and dispersions are listed here:
...
A191452=dispersion of A008586 (4k, k>=1)
A191667=dispersion of A016813 (4k+1, k>=1)
A191668=dispersion of A016825 (4k+2, k>=0)
A191669=dispersion of A004767 (4k+3, k>=0)
A191670=dispersion of A042968 (1 or 2 or 3 mod 4 and >=2)
A191671=dispersion of A004772 (0 or 1 or 3 mod 4 and >=2)
A191672=dispersion of A004773 (0 or 1 or 2 mod 4 and >=2)
A191673=dispersion of A004773 (0 or 2 or 3 mod 4 and >=2)
...
EXCEPT for at most 2 initial terms (so that column 1 always starts with 1):
A191452 has 1st col A042968, all else A008486
A191667 has 1st col A004772, all else A016813
A191668 has 1st col A042965, all else A016825
A191669 has 1st col A004773, all else A004767
A191670 has 1st col A008486, all else A042968
A191671 has 1st col A016813, all else A004772
A191672 has 1st col A016825, all else A042965
A191673 has 1st col A004767, all else A004773
...
Regarding the dispersions A191670-A191673, there is a formula for sequences of the type "(a or b or c mod m)", (as in the Mathematica program below):
If f(n)=(n mod 3), then (a,b,c,a,b,c,a,b,c,...) is given by
a*f(n+2)+b*f(n+1)+c*f(n), so that "(a or b or c mod m)" is given by
a*f(n+2)+b*f(n+1)+c*f(n)+m*floor((n-1)/3)), for n>=1.

Conjecture on primes with one coach (A216371) relating to the odd integers: iff an integer is in A216371 (primes with one coach either of the form 4q-1 or 4q+1, (q > 0)); the top row of its coach is composed of a permutation of the first q odd integers. Example: prime 19 (q = 5), has 5 terms in each row of its coach: 19: [1, 9, 5, 7, 3] ... [1, 1, 1, 2, 4]. This is interpreted: (19 - 1) = (2^1 * 9), (19 - 9) = (2^1 * 5), (19 - 5) = (2^1 - 7), (19 - 7) = (2^2 * 3), (19 - 3) = (2^4 * 1). - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 09 2012
A005408 is the numerator 2n-1 of the term (1/m^2 - 1/n^2) = (2n-1)/(mn)^2, n = m+1, m > 0 in the Rydberg formula, while A035287 is the denominator (mn)^2. So the quotient a(A005408)/a(A035287) simulates the Hydrogen spectral series of all hydrogen-like elements. - Freimut Marschner, Aug 10 2013
This sequence has unique factorization. The primitive elements are the odd primes (A065091). (Each term of the sequence can be expressed as a product of terms of the sequence. Primitive elements have only the trivial factorization. If the products of terms of the sequence are always in the sequence, and there is a unique factorization of each element into primitive elements, we say that the sequence has unique factorization. So, e.g., the composite numbers do not have unique factorization, because for example 36 = 4*9 = 6*6 has two distinct factorizations.) - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Sep 28 2013
These are also numbers k such that (k^k+1)/(k+1) is an integer. - Derek Orr, May 22 2014
a(n-1) gives the number of distinct sums in the direct sum {1,2,3,..,n} + {1,2,3,..,n}. For example, {1} + {1} has only one possible sum so a(0) = 1. {1,2} + {1,2} has three distinct possible sums {2,3,4} so a(1) = 3. {1,2,3} + {1,2,3} has 5 distinct possible sums {2,3,4,5,6} so a(2) = 5. - Derek Orr, Nov 22 2014

Number of 2's dividing 2*n.
a(n) is equivalently the exponent of the smallest power of 2 which does not divide n. - David James Sycamore, Oct 02 2023
a(n) - 1 is the number of trailing zeros in the binary expansion of n.
If you are counting in binary and the least significant bit is numbered 1, the next bit is 2, etc., a(n) is the bit that is incremented when increasing from n-1 to n. - Jud McCranie, Apr 26 2004
Number of steps to reach an integer starting with (n+1)/2 and using the map x -> x*ceiling(x) (cf. A073524).
a(n) is the number of the disk to be moved at the n-th step of the optimal solution to Towers of Hanoi problem (comment from Andreas M. Hinz).
Shows which bit to flip when creating the binary reflected Gray code (bits are numbered from the right, offset is 1). This is essentially equivalent to Hinz's comment. - Adam Kertesz, Jul 28 2001
a(n) is the Hamming distance between n and n-1 (in binary). This is equivalent to Kertesz's comments above. - Tak-Shing Chan (chan12(AT)alumni.usc.edu), Feb 25 2003
Let S(0) = {1}, S(n) = {S(n-1), S(n-1)-{x}, x+1} where x = last term of S(n-1); sequence gives S(infinity). - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 14 2003
The sum of all terms up to and including the first occurrence of m is 2^m-1. - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 01 2003
m appears every 2^m terms starting with the 2^(m-1)th term. - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 08 2003
Sequence read mod 4 gives A092412. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 28 2004
If q = 2n/2^A001511(n) and if b(m) is defined by b(0)=q-1 and b(m)=2*b(m-1)+1, then 2n = b(A001511(n)) + 1. - Gerald McGarvey, Dec 18 2004
Repeating pattern ABACABADABACABAE ... - Jeremy Gardiner, Jan 16 2005
Relation to C(n) = Collatz function iteration using only odd steps: a(n) is the number of right bits set in binary representation of A004767(n) (numbers of the form 4*m+3). So for m=A004767(n) it follows that there are exactly a(n) recursive steps where m
Between every two instances of any positive integer m there are exactly m distinct values (1 through m-1 and one value greater than m). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Sep 18 2006
Number of divisors of n of the form 2^k. - Giovanni Teofilatto, Jul 25 2007
Every prefix up to (but not including) the first occurrence of some k >= 2 is a palindrome. - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 24 2008

Given A000041, P(x) = A(x)/A(x^2) with P(x) = (1 + x + 2x^2 + 3x^3 + 5x^4 + 7x^5 + ...), A(x) = (1 + x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + 10x^4 + 13x^5 + ...), A(x^2) = (1 + x^2 + 3x^4 + 4x^6 + 10x^8 + ...), where A092119 = (1, 1, 3, 4, 10, ...) = Euler transform of the ruler sequence, A001511. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 11 2010
Subtracting 1 from every term and deleting any 0's yields the same sequence, A001511. - Ben Branman, Dec 28 2011
In the listing of the compositions of n as lists in lexicographic order, a(k) is the last part of composition(k) for all k <= 2^(n-1) and all n, see example. - Joerg Arndt, Nov 12 2012
According to Hinz, et al. (see links), this sequence was studied by Louis Gros in his 1872 pamphlet "Théorie du Baguenodier" and has therefore been called the Gros sequence.
First n terms comprise least squarefree word of length n using positive integers, where "squarefree" means that the word contains no consecutive identical subwords; e.g., 1 contains no square; 11 contains a square but 12 does not; 121 contains no square; both 1211 and 1212 have squares but 1213 does not; etc. - Clark Kimberling, Sep 05 2013
Length of 0-run starting from 2 (10, 100, 110, 1000, 1010, ...), or length of 1-run starting from 1 (1, 11, 101, 111, 1001, 1011, ...) of every second number, from right to left in binary representation. - Armands Strazds, Apr 13 2017
a(n) is also the frequency of the largest part in the integer partition having viabin number n. The viabin number of an integer partition is defined in the following way. Consider the southeast border of the Ferrers board of the integer partition and consider the binary number obtained by replacing each east step with 1 and each north step, except the last one, with 0. The corresponding decimal form is, by definition, the viabin number of the given integer partition. "Viabin" is coined from "via binary". For example, consider the integer partition [2,2,2,1]. The southeast border of its Ferrers board yields 10100, leading to the viabin number 20. - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 24 2017
As A000005(n) equals the number of even divisors of 2n and A001227(n) = A001227(2n), the formula A001511(n) = A000005(n)/A001227(n) might be read as "The number of even divisors of 2n is always divisible by the number of odd divisors of 2n" (where number of divisors means sum of zeroth powers of divisors). Conjecture: For any nonnegative integer k, the sum of the k-th powers of even divisors of n is always divisible by the sum of the k-th powers of odd divisors of n. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Jul 06 2019
