Fraenkel (2010) called these the "vile" numbers.
Minimal with respect to property that parity of number of 1's in binary expansion alternates.

If k appears then 2k does not.
Increasing sequence of positive integers k such that A035263(k)=1 (from paper by Allouche et al.). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 15 2003

The sequence has the following fractal property. Remove the odd numbers from the sequence, leaving 4,12,16,20,28,36,44,48,52,... Dividing these terms by 4 we get 1,3,4,5,7,9,11,12,..., which is the original sequence back again. - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 06 2010
From Gary W. Adamson, Mar 21 2010: (Start)
A conjectured identity relating to the partition sequence, A000041 as polcoeff p(x); A003159, and its characteristic function A035263: (1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, ...); and A036554 indicating n-th terms with zeros in A035263: (2, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 22, ...).
The conjecture states that p(x) = A(x) = A(x^2) when A(x) = polcoeff A174065 = the Euler transform of A035263 = 1/((1-x)*(1-x^3)*(1-x^4)*(1-x^5)*...) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 4*x^5 + ... and the aerated variant = the Euler transform of the complement of A035263: 1/((1-x^2)*(1-x^6)*(1-x^8)*...) = 1 + x^2 + x^4 + 2*x^6 + 3*x^8 + 4*x^10 + ....
(End)
The conjecture above was proved by Jean-Paul Allouche on Dec 21 2013. - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 22 2014
If the lower s-Wythoff sequence of s is s, then s=A003159. (See A184117 for the definition of lower and upper s-Wythoff sequences.)  Starting with any nondecreasing sequence s of positive integers, A003159 is the limit when the lower s-Wythoff operation is iterated.  For example, starting with s=(1,4,9,16,...)=(n^2), we obtain lower and upper s-Wythoff sequences
  a=(1,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,14,...)=A184427;
  b=(2,7,12,21,31,44,58,74,...)=A184428.
  Then putting s=a and repeating the operation gives a'=(1,3,4,5,7,9,11,12,14,...), which has the same first eight terms as A003159. - Clark Kimberling, Jan 14 2011

			1=1, 3=11, 5=101 and 7=111 have no (0 = even) trailing zeros, 4=100 has 2 (= even) trailing zeros in the base-2 representation.
2=10 and 6=110 end in one (=odd number) of trailing zeros in their base-2 representation, therefore are not terms of this sequence. - _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 29 2013

If the upper s-Wythoff sequence of s is s, then s=A036554. (See A184117 for the definition of lower and upper s-Wythoff sequences.) Starting with any nondecreasing sequence s of positive integers, A036554 is the limit when the upper s-Wythoff operation is iterated.  For example, starting with s=(1,4,9,16,...) = (n^2), we obtain lower and upper s-Wythoff sequences
  a=(1,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,14,...) = A184427;
  b=(2,7,12,21,31,44,58,74,...) = A184428.
  Then putting s=a and repeating the operation gives
b'=(2,6,8,10,13,17,20,...), which has the same first four terms as A036554. - Clark Kimberling, Jan 14 2011

			From _Gary W. Adamson_, Mar 20 2010: (Start)
Equals terms in even numbered rows in the following multiplication table:
(rows are labeled 1,2,3,... as with the Towers of Hanoi disks)
   1,  3,  5,  7,  9, 11, ...
   2,  6, 10, 14, 18, 22, ...
   4, 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, ...
   8, 24, 40, 56, 72, 88, ...
   ...
As shown, 2, 6, 8, 10, 14, ...; are in even numbered rows, given the row with (1, 3, 5, 7, ...) = row 1.
The term "5" is in an odd row, so the 5th Towers of Hanoi move is CW, moving disc #1 (in the first row).
a(3) = 8 in row 4, indicating that the 8th Tower of Hanoi move is CCW, moving disc #4.
A036554 bisects the positive nonzero natural numbers into those in the A036554 set comprising 1/3 of the total numbers, given sufficiently large n.
This corresponds to 1/3 of the TOH moves being CCW and 2/3 CW. Row 1 of the multiplication table = 1/2 of the natural numbers, row 2 = 1/4, row 3 = 1/8 and so on, or 1 = (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ...). Taking the odd-indexed terms of this series given offset 1, we obtain 2/3 = 1/2 + 1/8 + 1/32 + ..., while sum of the even-indexed terms is 1/3. (End)

Suppose that s(n) is a nondecreasing sequence of positive integers. The lower and upper s(n)-Wythoff sequences, a and b, are introduced here. Define
a(1) = 1; b(1) = s(1) + a(1); and for n>=2,
a(n) = least positive integer not in {a(1),...,a(n-1),b(1),...,b(n-1)},
b(n) = s(n) + a(n).
Clearly, a and b are complementary. If s(n)=n, then
a=A000201, the lower Wythoff sequence, and
b=A001950, the upper Wythoff sequence.
A184117 is chosen to represent the class of s-Wythoff sequences for which s is an arithmetic sequence given by s(n) = kn - r. Such sequences (lower and upper) are indexed in the OEIS as shown here:
n+1....A026273...A026274
n......A000201...A001950 (the classical Wythoff sequences)
2n+1...A184117...A184118
2n.....A001951...A001952
2n-1...A136119...A184119
3n+1...A184478...A184479
3n.....A184480...A001956
3n-1...A184482...A184483
3n-2...A184484...A184485
4n+1...A184486...A184487
4n.....A001961...A001962
4n-1...A184514...A184515
The pattern continues for A184516 to A184531.
s-Wythoff sequences for choices of s other than arithmetic sequences include these:
A184419 and A184420 (s = lower Wythoff sequence)
A184421 and A184422 (s = upper Wythoff sequence)
A184425 and A184426 (s = triangular numbers)
A184427 and A184428 (s = squares)
A036554 and A003159 (invariant and limiting sequences).

			s=(3,5,7,9,11,13,...);
a=(1,2,3,5,6,8,...);
b=(4,7,10,14,17,21,...).
