%F a(n) = (n+2*A065359(n))/3; a(n) is asymptotic to n/3. - _Benoit Cloitre_, Oct 04 2003

%F From _Ralf Stephan_, Oct 17 2003: (Start)

%F a(0)=0, a(2n) = -a(n) + n, a(2n+1) = -a(n) + n + 1.

%F a(n) = (1/2) * (A050292(n) + A065639(n)).

%F G.f.: (1/2) * 1/(1-x) * Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*t/(1-t^2) where t=x^2^k. (End)

%F a(0)=0 then a(n) = ceiling(n/2)-a(n-ceiling(n/2)). - _Benoit Cloitre_, May 03 2004

%o (PARI) a(n)=if(n<1,0,ceil(n/2)-a(n-ceil(n/2)))

%Y Cf. A087733.

%K nonn,easy

%O 0,5
