%N Locations of row maxima in "crushed" version of Stern's diatomic array.

%C From _Michel Marcus_, Jan 22 2015: (Start)

%C The Stern's diatomic array begins (see A049456).

%C 1...............................1

%C 1...............2...............1

%C 1.......3.......2.......3.......1

%C 1...4...3...5...2...5...3...4...1

%C 1.5.4.7.3.8.5.7.2.7.5.8.3.7.4.5.1

%C ...

%C The "crushed" version is obtained by removing the right column, and then squeezing everything to the left.

%C 1;

%C 1, 2;

%C 1, 3, 2, 3;

%C 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 4;

%C 1, 5, 4, 7, 3, 8, 5, 7, 2, 7, 5, 8, 3, 7, 4, 5;

%C ...

%C This gives sequence 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 4, ... (cf. A002487).

%C The "crushed" array row maxima are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ... (cf. A000045).

%C The indices of these values in A002487 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, ... : this sequence.

%C Note, for instance, that for 3rd row, the maximum which is 3, appears twice, at indices 5 and 7, giving 2 terms for this sequence.
