FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-2^floor(log_2(n))) + 20^floor(log_2(n)). a(2n) = 20*a(n); a(2n+1) = a(2n)+1 = 20*a(n)+1.
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} A030308(n,k)*A009964(k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 15 2011
G.f.: (1/(1 - x))*Sum_{k>=0} 20^k*x^(2^k)/(1 + x^(2^k)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 04 2017
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 401 since 5 written in base 2 is 101 so a(5) = 1*20^2 + 0*20^1 + 1*20^0 = 400 + 0 + 1 = 401.
