COMMENTS

This is the binomial transform of the sequence {0,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,...}. Sequence A052467, the binomial transform of the sequence {0,1,1,0,1,0,1,...} is very similar. In fact, the first differences of this sequence yields A052467.

The number of pernicious numbers (A052294) less than 2^n. Although the graph looks almost like 2^n, the graph of a(n)/2^n has quite a bit of variation. - T. D. Noe, Mar 14 2009
