FORMULA

a(0)=0, a(4n+i)=a(n)+i 0<=i<=3; a(n)=n-3*(sum(k>0, floor(n/4^k))=n-3*A054893(n). - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 19, 2002

G.f.: (Sum_{k>=0} (x^(4^k)+2*x^(2*4^k)+3*x^(3*4^k))/(1+x^(4^k)+x^(2*4^k)+x^(3*4^k))/(1-x). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Nov 03 2005

a(n)=Sum_k>=0 {A030386(n,k)}. - From DELEHAM Philippe, Oct 21 2011.

EXAMPLE

a(20)=1+1+0=2 because 20 is written as 110 base 4.

Contribution from Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Feb 21 2010: (Start)

This can be written as a triangle (cf. A000120):

0,

1,2,3,

1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,

1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,6,7,8,9,

1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,2,3,4,5,3,4,5,6,4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,3,4,5,6,4,...

where the rows converge to A173524.
