COMMENTS

Simon Plouffe (simon.plouffe(AT)gmail.com) observes that this sequence and A006519 (greatest power of 2 dividing n) are very similar, the difference being all zeros except for every 16-th term (see A101119 for nonzero differences). Dec 02, 2004.

FORMULA

If n=2^(4*b+c)*d, 0<=c<=3, d odd, then a(n) = 8*b + 2^c.

If n=2^m*d, d odd, then a(n) = 2*m+1 if m=0 mod 4, a(n) = 2*m if m=1 or 2 mod 4, a(n) = 2*m+2 (otherwise, i.e., if m=3 mod 4).

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 2e + a_(e mod 4) if p = 2; 1 if p > 2; where a = (1, 0, 0, 2). - David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net), Aug 01, 2001.
