So A175046 is a kind of inverse transformation to A318921!  Thanks,
Andrew, very nice!
I've created A318922, ...923, ...924 applying the A318921
transformation to Fibonaccis, primes, binary Campernowne,
respectively.
It might be interesting to see what A175046 does to those same three
sequences, if anyone would like to investigate.

Inspired by your email, I also created the companion  A318925, defined
by a(n) = A175046(A318921(n)). (Needs more terms)

Since Claude Lenormand used <<raboter>> to describe what is now
A318921, I guess A175046 would be <<agrandir>>?

As I said in my earlier message today, I haven't heard from him for
about 15 years.  Which was before
the OEIS became a wiki, and perhaps even before this mailing list was
created. Claude, are you there?
There was an obituary for someone of that same name earlier this year,
which makes me worry.
Best regards
Neil
