%N The non-powers of 2.

%C a(n) is the length signature of a string plus its length.

%C The positive members of this sequence are exactly the numbers that can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers (cf. A138591). - _David Wasserman_, Jan 24 2002

%C Starting at 3, these are the positions of the check bits in the single-error-correcting Hamming code.

%C Except for the offset 0, sequence corresponds to numbers with at least an odd divisor. (For largest odd divisor see A000265.) - _Lekraj Beedassy_, Apr 12 2005

%C These are exactly the numbers n with the property that, given the n(n-1)/2 sums of pairs, the original numbers can be recovered uniquely. [Nick Reingold, see Winkler reference.]

%C Subsequence of A158581; A000120(a(n)) > 1. [From _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Apr 16 2009]

%C Range of A140977. [From _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Aug 15 2010]

%C A209229(a(n)) = 0. [_Reinhard Zumkeller_, Mar 07 2012]

%C A001227(a(n)) > 1. [_Reinhard Zumkeller_, May 01 2012]

%C Numbers that can be expressed as the sum of at least two integers; numbers that can be expressed as the difference of two nonconsecutive triangular numbers. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jul 27 2012

%F a(n) = n + [log_2(n + [log_2(n)])] gives this sequence with the exception of a(1) = 1. - David W. Wilson, Mar 29 2005

%F Find k such that 2^k - (k + 1) <= n < 2^(k+1) - (k + 2), then a(n) = n + k + 1.

%F Numbers n=2a(k)-1 k>0 are such that sum_{k=0...n}B_kM(n-k)binomial(n, k)=0 where B_k is the k-th Bernoulli number and M_k the k-th Motzkin number - _Benoit Cloitre_, Oct 19 2005
