 I'm having difficulty in finding the formula for the sequence above, when I put this in wolframalpha it gave me a rather complex formula which I'm not convinced even works properly but I'm sure there's a simple way to achieve this. I've searched for many similar sequences but couldn't find anything that helped me.   I'm thinking I'll most likely need to have a condition for even numbers and another for non even numbers.   Any help would be highly appreciated.
