Comments

Equivalently, a(n) is the multiplicative order of n with respect to base 2 (modulo 11), i.e., a(n) is the base-2 logarithm of the smallest k such that 2^k mod 11 = n. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Aug 21 2021

Example

From Jon E. Schoenfield, Aug 21 2021: (Start)
Sequence is a permutation of the 10 integers 0..9:
   k     2^k  2^k mod 11
  --  ------  ----------
   0       1           1  so a(1)  =  0
   1       2           2  so a(2)  =  1
   2       4           4  so a(4)  =  2
   3       8           8  so a(8)  =  3
   4      16           5  so a(5)  =  4
   5      32          10  so a(10) =  5
   6      64           9  so a(9)  =  6
   7     128           7  so a(7)  =  7
   8     256           3  so a(3)  =  8
   9     512           6  so a(6)  =  9
  10    1024           1
but a(1) = 0, so the sequence is finite with 10 terms.
(End)
