%F a(2n) = a(n) + 1 - (n+1 mod 3), a(2n+1) = 1 - (n mod 3). - _Ralf Stephan_, Sep 27 2003

%F a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = (1 + (-1)^e)/2, a(3^e) = 0^e, a(p^e) = 1 if p == 1 (mod 6), a(p^e) = (-1)^e if p == 5 (mod 6). - _Michael Somos_, Jul 18 2004

%F G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = u^2 - v^2 + 2*w*(v-u) + w-v. - _Michael Somos_, Jul 18 2004

%F G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} f(x^2^k) where f(x) := x * (1 - x) / (1 - x^3). - _Michael Somos_, Jul 18 2004

%F max(Sum_{k=0..n} a(k)) = floor(log_4(n))+1. Proof by Nikolaus Meyberg.

%F Dirichlet g.f. (conjectured): L(chi_2(3),s)/(1-2^(-s)), with chi_2(3) the nontrivial Dirichlet character modulo 3. - _Ralf Stephan_, Mar 27 2015

%F a(2*n + 1) = A057078(n). a(3*n) = 0. a(3*n + 1) = A098725(n+1). - _Michael Somos_, Jun 16 2015
