This sequence is known as the "Look and Say" or "Say What You see" sequence. Each term is formed by describing the previous term. The first term is just the digit 1. To describe it you would say "one one," so the next term is 11. To describe that you'd say "two one," and so on. The next term after the ones shown is 31131211131221.
