Least significant bit of n, lsb(n).

Also decimal expansion of 1/99.

a(n) = ABS(A134451(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Oct 27 2007

Characteristic function of odd numbers: a(A005408(n))=1, a(A005843(n))=0. [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Sep 29 2008]

A102370(n) modulo 2 . [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Apr 04 2009]

Base b expansion of 1/(b^2-1) for any b>=2 is 0.0101... (A005563 has b^2-1). [From Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Sep 27 2009]

Let A be the Hessenberg n by n matrix defined by: A[1,j]=j mod 2, A[i,i]:=1, A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n)=(-1)^n*charpoly(A,1). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jan 24 2010]

Contribution from R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 15 2010: (Start)

The sequence is the principal Dirichlet character of the reduced residue system mod 2 or mod 4 or mod 8 or mod 16...

Associated Dirichlet L-functions are for example L(2,chi)= sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n^2 == A111003,

or L(3,chi)= sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n^3 = 1.05179979... = 7*A002117/8,

or L(4,chi)= sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n^4 = 1.014678... = A092425/96. (End)

Also parity of the nonnegative integers A001477. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 17 2012
