A059448 If A_k are the terms from 2^(k-1) through to 2^k-1, then A_(k+1) is B_k A_k where B_k is A_k with 0's and 1's swapped, starting from a(1)=0; also parity of number of zero digits when n is written in binary. 7

FORMULA

a(2n)=1-a(n); a(2n+1)=a(n)=1-a(2n). If 2^k<=n<2^(k+1) then a(n)=1-a(n-2^(k-1)). a(n)=A023416(n) mod 2 =A059009(n)-2n =2n+1-A059010(n) =|A010060(n)-A030300(n-1)|.

Let b(1)=1 and b(n)=b(n-ceil(n/2))-b(n-floor(n/2)) then for n>=1 a(n)=(1/2)*(1-b(2n+1)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 26 2005
