Comments

This sequence can be represented as a binary tree. Each left hand child is produced as A255411(n), and each right hand child as A256450(n), when parent contains n >= 1:

etc.

Because all terms of A255411 are even it means that odd terms can occur only in odd positions (together with some even terms, for each one of which there is a separate infinite cycle), while terms in even positions are all even.

After its initial 1, A255567 seems to give all the terms like 2, 3, 12, ... where the left hand child of the right hand child is one more than the right hand child of the left hand child (as for 2: 16 = 15+1, as for 3: 22 = 21+1, as for 12: 88 = 87+1).

Formula

a(0) = 0; after which, a(2n) = A255411(a(n)), a(2n+1) = A256450(a(n)).

Other identities:

For all n >= 0, a(2^n) = A001563(n+1). [The leftmost branch of the binary tree is given by n*n!]

For all n >= 0, a(A083318(n)) = A000142(n+1). [And the next innermost vertices by (n+1)! This follows because A256450(n*n! - 1) = (n+1)! - 1.]

For all n >= 1, A257679(a(n)) = A001511(n).
