Authored summary

OEIS calls A226077 a permutation and lists an inverse, while its record supplies computation without a proof.

The record cites sources for its explanation. The outcome applies to this attempt's recorded scope.

Attempt outcome: open strategy

Recorded scope: every positive integer occurs somewhere in the infinite sequence

2Authored explanation

A comment added to OEIS A226077 by Reinhard Zumkeller on May 26, 2013 calls the sequence a permutation and points to A226093 as its inverse. A226093 has the title "Inverse permutation to A226077." The accessible records give definitions, generators, and 10,000-term tables. They contain no proof of surjectivity. The source search for this entry found no paper or later proof resolving the universal claim.

The nearby disjoint-support sequence A109812 has a short surjectivity proof: its first term at least \(2^k\) must equal \(2^k\), which then forces the least missing value. Exact-one overlap breaks that lemma. In A226077, 6 occurs before 4 and 9 occurs before 8. The A109812 proof therefore cannot be copied into this setting.

The million-term certificate moves the verified least missing value to 523,263. A resolution still needs a proof that every least missing value is eventually forced, or a positive integer that remains absent forever.
