COMMENTS

The length of each run of zeros and ones: 1,3,6,13,25,53,107,219,445,899,1821,... and 1,3,5,12,26,52,106,218,442,894,1811,2838,..., . - Robert G. Wilson v.

FORMULA

a(n) = floor((c(n) - 2^m)/2^(m-1)), where c(n) is the n-th composite and m = floor(ln(c(n))/ln(2)).

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 1 because 6 is the second composite and because the next-to-most-significant binary digit (which happens to be the middle binary digit) of 6 = 110 (in binary) is 1.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := IntegerDigits[ FixedPoint[n + PrimePi[ # ] + 1 &, n], 2][[2]]; Array[f, 105] (* Robert G. Wilson v *)
