COMMENTS
Binary representation of the Kempner-Mahler number Sum_{k>=0} 1/2^(2^k) = A007404.
a(n) = (product of digits of n; n in binary notation) mod 2. This sequence is a transformation of the Thue-Morse sequence (A010060), since there exists a function f such that f(sum of digits of n) = (product of digits of n). - Ctibor O. Zizka, Feb 12 2008
a(n-1), n >= 1, the characteristic sequence for powers of 2, A000079, is the unique solution of the following formal product and formal power series identity: Product_{j>=1} (1 + a(j-1)*x^j) = 1 + Sum_{k>=1} x^k = 1/(1-x). The product is therefore Product_{l>=1} (1 + x^(2^l)). Proof. Compare coefficients of x^n and use the binary representation of n. Uniqueness follows from the recurrence relation given for the general case under A147542. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 05 2009
a(n) is also the number of orbits of length n for the map x -> 1-cx^2 on [-1,1] at the Feigenbaum critical value c=1.401155... . - Thomas Ward, Apr 08 2009
A054525 (Mobius transform) * A001511 = A036987 = A047999^(-1) * A001511 = the inverse of Sierpiński's gasket * the ruler sequence. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 26 2009 [Of course this is only vaguely correct depending on how the fuzzy indexing in these formulas is made concrete. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 20 2014]
Characteristic function of A000225. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 06 2012
Also parity of the Catalan numbers A000108. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 17 2012
For n >= 2, also the largest exponent k >= 0 such that n^k in binary notation does not contain both 0 and 1. Unlike for the decimal version of this sequence, A062518, where the terms are only conjectural, for this sequence the values of a(n) can be proved to be the characteristic function of A000225, as follows: n^k will contain both 0 and 1 unless n^k = 2^r-1 for some r. But this is a special case of Catalan's equation x^p = y^q-1, which was proved by Preda Mihăilescu to have no nontrivial solution except 2^3 = 3^2 - 1. - Christopher J. Smyth, Aug 22 2014
Image, under the coding a,b -> 1; c -> 0, of the fixed point, starting with a, of the morphism a -> ab, b -> cb, c -> cc. - Jeffrey Shallit, May 14 2016
Number of nonisomorphic Boolean algebras of order n+1. - Jianing Song, Jan 23 2020

a(n) = 1 iff n=2^k-1 for some k, 0 otherwise. - M. F. Hasler, Jun 20 2014
a(n) = ceiling(log_2(n+2)) - ceiling(log_2(n+1)). - Gionata Neri, Sep 06 2015
From John M. Campbell, Jul 21 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (A000168(n-1) mod 2).
a(n) = (A000531(n+1) mod 2).
a(n) = (A000699(n+1) mod 2).
a(n) = (A000891(n) mod 2).
a(n) = (A000913(n-1) mod 2), for n>1.
a(n) = (A000917(n-1) mod 2), for n>0.
a(n) = (A001142(n) mod 2).
a(n) = (A001246(n) mod 2).
a(n) = (A001246(n) mod 4).
a(n) = (A002057(n-2) mod 2), for n>1.
a(n) = (A002430(n+1) mod 2). (End)
a(n) = 2 - A043529(n). - Antti Karttunen, Nov 19 2017
a(n) = floor(1+log(n+1)/log(2)) - floor(log(2n+1)/log(2)). - Adriano Caroli, Sep 22 2019
This is also the decimal expansion of -Sum_{k>=1} mu(2*k)/(10^k - 1), where mu is the Möbius function (A008683). - Amiram Eldar, Jul 12 2020
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + x + x^3 + x^7 + x^15 + x^31 + x^63 + x^127 + x^255 + x^511 + ...
a(7) = 1 since 7 = 2^3 - 1, while a(10) = 0 since 10 is not of the form 2^k - 1 for any integer k.

CROSSREFS
The first row of A073346. Occurs for first time in A073202 as row 6 (and again as row 8).
Congruent to any of the sequences A000108, A007460, A007461, A007463, A007464, A061922, A068068 reduced modulo 2. Characteristic function of A000225.
If interpreted with offset=1 instead of 0 (i.e., a(1)=1, a(2)=1, a(3)=0, a(4)=1, ...) then this is the characteristic function of 2^n (A000079) and as such occurs as the first row of A073265. Also, in that case the INVERT transform will produce A023359.
This is Guy Steele's sequence GS(1, 3), also GS(3, 1) (see A135416).
