COMMENTS

For n >= 2, a(n) gives the contents of the parent node of the node containing n in binary trees like A245612.

Every positive integer greater than one occurs exactly twice in this sequence.

FORMULA

a(1) = 0, and for n > 1, if n = 3*k-1, then a(n) = k, otherwise a(n) = (A064216(n)+1)/2.

a(n) = (n+1)/3 + (3*A064216(n) - 2*n + 1)*( (n+1)^2 mod 3 )/6, for n>1. - Ammar Khatab, Sep 21 2020
