A256185

Second of two variations by Per Nørgård of his "infinity sequence", cf. A004718: v(0) = 0; v(3*n) = -v(n); v(3*n+1) = v(n) - 3; v(3*n+2) = -2 - v(n).

COMMENTS

Per Nørgård's surname is also written as Noergaard;

for all odd j exists k such that abs(a(k+1)-a(k)) = j, in contrast to A004718, where this holds also for even j > 0, see link.
