COMMENTS

In dismal arithmetic in base 2, this is the number of dismal divisors of the number 111...1 (with n 1's). E.g. 1111 has a(4) = 5 divisors (see A048888). - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 23 2011.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-z) * Sum_{k=1..oo}z^k/(1-2z+z^k).

EXAMPLE

a(4)=3 because we have 4;3+1;2+2,2+1+1;1+1+1+1

MAPLE

M:=101:

t1:=add( (1-x)*x^k/(1-2*x+x^k), k=1..M):

series(t1, x, M-1);

seriestolist(%);

CROSSREFS

Essentially the same as A007059.

This is a subsequence of A067399: A067399(2^k-1).

First differences of A186537. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 23 2011

Cf. A188541. Equals A048888(n)-1.

Sequence in context: A108351 A038495 A007059 * A108296 A072100 A104882

Further edits (required in order to clarify the definition - is the first part >= the rest. or only > the rest? Answer: the former; for the latter, see A007059) by N. J. A. Sloane, May 08 2011
