Ignoring first term, this is the meta-Fibonacci sequence for s=0. - Frank Ruskey and Chris Deugau (deugaucj(AT)uvic.ca)

Except for the first term, n occurs A001511(n) times. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 22 2006

Sequence was proposed by Reg Allenby.

First differences seem to be A079559. - Vladeta Jovovic, Nov 30 2003. This is correct and not too hard to prove, giving the generating function x + x^2(1+x)(1+x^3)(1+x^7)(1+x^15).../(1-x). - Paul Boddington, Jul 30 2004
