FORMULA

a(n) = 2*(A006165(n-1) + n - 1), n>1.

G.f. (1+x^2)/(1-x)^2 + 2x^2/(1-x)^2 * sum(k>=0, x^2^(k+1)-x^(3*2^k)). - Ralf Stephan, Jun 04 2003

For n>2, a(n) = 3*(n-1) + A053646(n-1). [From Max Alekseyev, May 15 2011]

MATHEMATICA

a[0] = 1; a[1] = 2; a[2] = 4; a[3] = 6; a[n_?EvenQ] := a[n] = a[n/2] + a[n/2 + 1]; a[n_?OddQ]  := a[n] = 2*a[(n + 1)/2]; Array[a, 60, 0] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Apr 11 2011 *)

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<4, 2*max(0, n)+(n==0), if(n%2, 2*a((n+1)/2), a(n/2)+a(n/2+1)))
