%N Optimal cost function between two processors at distance n.

%C Also the number of nonzero digits in the symmetric signed digit expansion of n with q=2 (i.e., the representation of n in the (-1,0,1)_2 number system). - _Ralf Stephan_, Jun 30 2003

%C Volger (1985) proves that a(n) <= ceiling(log_2(3n/2) / 2) and uses a(n) to derive an upper bound on the length of the minimum addition-subtraction chain for n. - Steven G. Johnson (stevenj(AT)math.mit.edu), May 01 2007

%C Starting from 0, the smallest number of steps to reach n, where each step involves moving a power of 2 in either direction. - _Dmitry Kamenetsky_, Jul 04 2023
