From R. J. Mathar, Nov 12 2011. (Start)

The function bin_prime_sum of an argument n is a sum of three numbers. Let s = A000523(n) be the exponent of the largest power of 2 less than or equal to n and prime=A000040. Then the three terms are:

i) (-1)^(n+1);

ii) sum_{i=1..s} prime(i) * (1 + (-1)^[n/2^i] ); where [..] is the floor bracket;

iii) 1 (if n=1), otherwise prime(s) (if s even) or 0 (if s odd). (End)

MAPLE

with(numtheory); bin_prime_sum := proc(n) local i, s; s := floor_log_2(n); RETURN(((-1)^(n+1)) + add( (((-1)^(floor(n/(2^i))+1))*ithprime(i)), i=1..s) + (`if`((1 = n), 1, ((`mod`((s+1), 2))*ithprime(s)))) ); end;
