FORMULA

a(n) = F(c(n)+4) where c(n) counts the blocks of consecutive identical symbols in the binary expansion of n and F() is the Fibonacci sequence.

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 13 since there are 3 blocks of consecutive identical systems in the binary expansion of 5 (namely, 101), 4+3 = 7 and the 7-th Fibonacci number is 13.
