FORMULA

a(n) = Product(((bit_n(n, i)*(2^(2^(i+1))))+1), i=0..inf); # A direct algebraic formula!

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (C(2n, 2k) mod 2)*4^(n-k)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 03 2005

a(2n+1) = 5*a(2n); a(n+1) = a(n) XOR 4a(n) where XOR is binary exclusive OR operator . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jun 18 2005

MAPLE

bit_n := (x, n) -> `mod`(floor(x/(2^n)), 2);

A recursive, cellular automaton rule version:

sigmaminus := proc(n) option remember: if (0 = n) then (1)

else sum('((bit_n(sigmaminus(n-1), i)+bit_n(sigmaminus(n-1), i-2)) mod 2)*(2^i)', 'i'=0..(2*n)) fi: end:

CROSSREFS

Cf. A006977, A006978, A038184, A038185 (other cellular automata), A000215 (Fermat numbers).

Also alternate terms of A001317. Cf. A048710, A048720, A048757 (same 0/1-patterns interpreted in Fibonacci number system).

Equals 4*A089893(n)+1.
