COMMENTS

a(A083318(n-1)) = n; a(A193159(k)) = 3, 1 <= k <= 26. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 17 2011]

LINKS

FORMULA

a(n) <= min(a(2*n), a(2*n+1)). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 31 2011]

EXAMPLE

(11 base 2) = 1011, containing 101, therefore a(11) = 3.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Block[{id = IntegerDigits[n, 2]}, k = Length@ id; While[ Union[# == Reverse@# & /@ Partition[id, k, 1]][[-1]] != True, k--]; k]; Array[f, 105] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 16 2011 *)

PROG

(Haskell)

import Data.Char (intToDigit, digitToInt)

import Numeric (showIntAtBase)

a050430 n = a050430_list !! (n-1)

a050430_list = f 1 where

   f n = g (showIntAtBase 2 intToDigit n "") : f (n+1)

   g zs | zs == reverse zs = length zs

        | otherwise        = max (h $ init zs) (h $ tail zs)

   h zs@('0':_) = g zs

   h zs@('1':_) = a050430 $ foldl (\v d -> digitToInt d + 2*v) 0 zs
