COMMENTS

Also sequence of period lengths for n's when you do primality testing and calculate "2^k mod n" from k=0 to k=n - Gottfried Helms (helms(AT)uni-kassel.de), Oct 05 2000

Fractal sequence related to A002326: the even terms of this sequence are this sequence itself, constructed on A002326, whose terms are the odd terms of this sequence. - Alexandre Wajnberg (alexandre.wajnberg(AT)ulb.ac.be), Apr 27 2005

Contribution from John W. Layman (layman(AT)math.vt.edu), Jan 22 2009: (Start)

It seems that a(n) is also the sum of the terms in one period of the base-2 MR-expansion of 1/n (see A136042 for definition).

a(n) appears to be the multiplicative order of 2 modulo the odd part of n (the largest odd divisor of n). This has been verified up to n=2000 for the base-2 MR-expansion interpretation. (End)
