[seqfan] Re: A175723: Why not monotonic and why repetitions?

[Klaus Brockhaus]

Shouldn't the name of A054775 be "POSITIVE multiples ..." unless zero is 
prepended? And shouldn't the repetitions be removed? The sequence 
without repetitions is not in the OEIS.
What are "the same properties" that "Mr. S. M. Ellerstein's sequence 
does indeed make use of"?
